The scripture quotes provided do not prove that Catholics worship the Blessed Mother.
The scripture quotes provided certainly prove that we are to worship God alone.
Catholics worship God alone.
Because God alone is to be worshipped (from the scriptures, and Catholics believe each and every one of the scriptures provided); then therefore this somehow proves that Catholics worship Mary?
A does not equal B and your logic fails.
Catholics do not pray TO the Blessed Mother. Catholics request intercessory prayer FROM the Blessed Mother.
Have you ever asked a Christian friend to pray for you? Are you now praying to that friend and worshipping them simply because you ASKED?
Protestants do not understand Catholicism and have no business falsely interpreting our faith and then hating on Catholics. It is wrong, mean spirited, and not Christian.
If a person does not have the intellectual capacity to understand the difference between intercessory prayer and worship, the problem is the ignorance of the non catholic’s understanding, not the intercessory prayer itself. The bible allows intercessory prayer and the protestants are perfectly aware of this. That is why they falsely accuse us of worship instead of attacking the perfectly acceptable practice of intercessory prayer requests.
Catholics worship God alone, especially in the Eucharist. Protestants fail to understand the Eucharist so their concept of Worship is entirely messed up. This is also a reason about the confusion surrounding supposed Mary worship.
No one has the authority to malign a concept that surpasses their intellectual grasp.
The Scripture proves nothing about what Catholics do on the personal and individual level.
The best you can say is that it’s not official Catholic teaching to worship Mary.
But the evidence found in watching people bow to her and the prayers easily found on the web directed to her, tell a different story.
Talk is cheap.
That statement has been shown to be false so many times it should be clear to anyone that making it doesn't increase one's credibility. Catholics should be aware that prayers TO Mary and their so called saints asking them to do specific tasks are posted on the internet for all to see.
