I was making a point, although it was missed by a number of people. If people can say that Catholics worship Mary, then anybody ought to be allowed to say absolutely anything about anybody.

I have no problem if someone states ACCURATELY what Catholics believe, and then asks an honest question about it.

But it is despicable when people post claims that Catholics worship Mary. Every Catholic knows that worshiping anybody or anything other than God is idolatry. It is the primary meaning of the First Commandment, and it is explained as such in every Catholic catechism ever published.

The problem with Catholicism is that it has redefined worship to mean something else to justify the “veneration” of Mary. Too many examples of catholic writings on Mary, the claims that we can only come to Jesus through Mary, the statues, the prayers, the kneeling, the claims that Mary sits on the honest summit of Heaven, etc all say Catholics worship Mary.
