"Oh no, Catholics certainly DO deify Mary and pray to her. Don’t even pretend they don’t.”

With all due respect to you, my friend, I know whom I adore as God and I know whom I do not. I give ultimate worship to God, and God alone.

If you say that isn't so, the only options seem to be that you either think I'm lying about my religious beliefs, -OR- you think I could accidentally worship somebody without knowing it.

If the former, you'd be saying I'm liar and that would end the conversation, since I don't converse with people who morally slander me .

If the latter, you'd be saying it's possible to for a person to inadvertently perform the most exalted conscious interior act a person can do, which doesn't make sense: you can't perform an act of the will, unwillfully.

Therefore it might help if you would specify how you think I could have carelessly worshipped somebody without knowing it--- if that's what you think I'm doing.

Thank you.

Your post suggests there are other forms of worship you may give to others.

Ultimate generally means the greatest or most extreme.

Did you mean to say you give only God worship?
