Then you will have no trouble answering the questions ion post #93. I will repost them.

Same questions I ask all the others specifically:

1) Who taught you that Marry is divine/ God?

2) Who taught you to worship Mary as God?

3) What does the Catechism, the official teaching of the Catholic Church say about Mary?

4) Where does the Catechism say that Mary is Divine/ God, cite the paragraph?

5) Specifically what members of your family taught you to worship Mary?

6) What members of your family believe that Mary is divine?

7) What members of your family worship Mary as they do God?

If you can't give specific answers it never happened.

I have noticed that no one has responded to your questions. I don't blame them at all. If asked of me, I would be offended that my credibility on the first statement is being challenged. The questions themselves seem to provide more harassment than clarification. Your assertion that the inability to answer your questions means that the event didn't happen is a non sequitur. Besides the tone of the questioning comes across as an interrogation and frankly, insulting.

Questions 1 and 2 may not be answerable. A lot of learning is by assimilation and not direct teaching. Someone was first person to teach me the memorial view of the Lord's Supper. Who was it? I don't know but I know it happened.

Questions 3 and 4 have absolutely nothing to do with whether or not someone was taught a doctrine or not. Just because it might not align with the Catholic Catechism doesn't mean that it wasn't taught.

Questions 5, 6, and 7 are basically none of your business. Question 5 could have the same problem as Questions 1 and 2. Just because someone decides not to answer some personal (and probably irrelevant questions) says nothing about the veracity of the original statement.

Nobody taught me that Mary was God or to worship her as such, nevertheless, as evidenced by the abundant evidence, that’s how many Catholics relate to her.

Official RCC teaching doesn’t seem to go anywhere in stopping all kinds of unscriptural and uncondoned behavior and practices amongst Catholic laity.

Appealing to official RCC doctrine is meaningless in light pf what goes on in practice and is not stopped by the RCC therefore, giving the behavior their stamp of approval.
