Actually, I dared question the priest about graven images, putting a personal relationship with Jesus after intercession by priests, Mary, etc. and a host of other questions and issues.
The “Father” was not pleased. He informed me that I was not fit to be there.
And so it goes..........

There is one here who has often suggested to those who express questioning/opposition to the very sort of things you mention, to "go talk to a priest".

Mileage can vary..?

[i can't resist asking again, in good humor]

Speaking of mileage, just how far did they throw you?
