only one of two things can be happening here:
1. you are trying to convince someone with an IQ less than 90, which is a fools errand.
or more likely,
2. they realize that Catholic’s don’t worship Mary, but they love telling the “untruth” because they are doing the will of their father, who is the god of this world and the father of “untruths” because the truth isn’t in him.
ironic isn’t, those who falsely accuse Catholics of idolatry ( worshipping anything other than the One true God )are actually guilty of the sin of idolatry by actually doing the will of devil, who is always falsely accusing Christians.
Thank you.
I have now encountered several of these people who are so filled with hatred for Mary that in their attempts to reduce her role to nothing, deny the Incarnation. One of them, just yesterday, said that Jesus’ flesh was NOT HUMAN FLESH—Jesus (body and soul) came entirely from heaven, and was merely placed in the womb of Mary. He said that Joseph AND Mary adopted Jesus when he was born—and NEITHER one was his parent.
Hatred of Mary leading straight to Docetism!
