“So you reject the claims of the apparition which Catholics claim is Mary?”

Show me one “claim” from an approved apparition in which Mary said we should worship her. Can you? No, you can’t. What a typical anti-Catholic would do now is post a claim which says nothing of the kind but insist it meets HIS OWN interpretation of “worship” and then falsely attack the Church with that.

So, what will you do, eagleone?

On 13 October 1917 the children surrounded by a crowd of 70.000 persons under a torrential rain, Lucy asked again of the Lady:"What do you want from me?" she answered: "I am the Lady of the Rosary, I desire here a chapel in my honor to be built, that people continue to recite the Rosary every day.http://www.theholyrosary.org/fatimaapparitions

The 15 Promises of Our Lady

1) To all those who shall pray my Rosary devoutly, I promise my special protection and great graces.

2) Those who shall persevere in the recitation of my Rosary will receive some special grace.

3) The Rosary will be a very powerful armor against hell; it will destroy vice, deliver from sin and dispel heresy.

4) The Rosary will make virtue and good works flourish, and will obtain for souls the most abundant divine mercies. It will draw the hearts of men from the love of the world and its vanities, and will lift them to the desire of eternal things. Oh, that souls would sanctify themselves by this means.

5) Those who trust themselves to me through the Rosary will not perish.

6) Whoever recites my Rosary devoutly reflecting on the mysteries, shall never be overwhelmed by misfortune. He will not experience the anger of God nor will he perish by an unprovided death. The sinner will be converted; the just will persevere in grace and merit eternal life.

7) Those truly devoted to my Rosary shall not die without the sacraments of the Church.

8) Those who are faithful to recite my Rosary shall have during their life and at their death the light of God and the plenitude of His graces and will share in the merits of the blessed.

9) I will deliver promptly from purgatory souls devoted to my Rosary.

10) True children of my Rosary will enjoy great glory in heaven.

11) What you shall ask through my Rosary you shall obtain.

12) To those who propagate my Rosary I promise aid in all their necessities.

13) I have obtained from my Son that all the members of the Rosary Confraternity shall have as their intercessors, in life and in death, the entire celestial court.

14) Those who recite my Rosary faithfully are my beloved children, the brothers and sisters of Jesus Christ.

15) Devotion to my Rosary is a special sign of predestination.

“ Whosoever dies clothed in this Scapular shall not suffer eternal fire.”

- words of Our Lady to Saint Simon Stock

http://www.fatima.org/apostolate/pdf/brown_scapular.pdf

Oh and the first picture on the website...Big Mary....little Jesus.

The best known and most highly esteemed scapular, and the one most favored by the Church, and by the Blessed Virgin in many of her apparitions, is the Brown Scapular of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel. It is adapted from the scapular of the Carmelite Order and represents a special Consecration to Our Lady under the title of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel. Those who wear it practice it a special devotion to Mary. In the past this was the Little Office of Our Lady, but today this can be commuted by any priest to the rosary.

In addition, the person has a special entrustment of themselves to Mary for their salvation.

This, in fact, has been promised to those who faithfully wear the scapular: "Those who die wearing this scapular shall not suffer eternal fire." https://www.ewtn.com/expert/answers/brown_scapular.htm A little false teaching goes a long way.

None. Repeat none of this devotion/worship of this apparition, relying upon these false claims for salvation is found in Scripture. Anywhere.

Faith is only in Christ. No one else. John 14:6

So what will the catholic do....continue to believe these false apparitions or deny them?

Balls in ya'lls court.
