“Oh?”

Yep. Once again, not a single one of the quotes you posted even hinted at any Catholic worshiping Mary. The fact that Mary intercedes for doesn’t mean we worship for her.

If you were to intercede for someone that doesn’t mean that person would mistake you for God and worship you as if you were God.

Apparently - even though I have pointed this out to you before - you can’t tell the difference between the fact that you posted quotes about what Mary does for us rather than any evidence of anyone actually worshiping Mary.

For the umpteenth time you've shown what a bombastic poster you are.

Baghdad Bob would be proud!

Let me ask this of any Roman Catholic Freeper...how would anyone be able to tell the difference between "worship" of Mary - which you claim there is never any evidence of anyone actually worshiping Mary - and the kind of "reverence" that IS officially approved? Seeing as nobody can read another person's mind to know what they really are intending by their outward acts, how is anyone supposed to tell the difference?

God certainly forbid the Jews from following after strange gods and pagan idols and He also forbid them from mimicking the same acts that these pagans did before their false gods such as making graven images of them, bowing down before them, making offerings to them, sacrificing their children and other things. I'd just like to know how any Catholic can make such a blanket statement that NO Catholic actually worships Mary when they cannot know what is in someone's heart, what their intent is or what they think they are doing in their dedication to her. I don't think it can be honestly claimed that nobody worships Mary in Catholicism.

BTW...if the answer is that anyone who actually DOES worship Mary isn't a "true" Catholic, then save it. That's a cop-out.
