This is why Christians know Roman Catholics worship Mary.
I can't speak for other Catholics, but when I was a Catholic, I know I worshipped Mary.
There is no doubt that she was blessed among women, but after giving birth to Jesus, she and Joseph had sex, like other married couples, and had other children, one of whom (James) became the leader of the Jerusalem church, not Peter. 😀
Exodus 20:4-6 “You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.
God doesn't actually say *Don't worship them* and I'd guess that it's because of those very same semantic gymnastics, but what He does here is address the outward actions, which are objective and can be objectively seen.,P> Catholics have made graven images and they bow down before them.
That is objectively seen disobedience to God's clear command.
