Yes. We honor the Blessed Virgin and Mother of God.

Roman Catholics worship Mary.

She is not the "Mother of God".

Honor your father and your mother.

Yes...we honor our earthly parents...however, Mary is not our "mother" much as Roman Catholicism wants her to be.

Hail Mary full of Grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed are thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus. Holy Mary Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death Amen.

All prayer is to be to God the Creator...not the created being.

Your comments: “Roman Catholics worship Mary.

She is not the “Mother of God”.

Just other erroneous opinions of a protestor that does not believe in the words Of Jesus: “Jesus said to them, “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you. 54Whoever eats* my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day.

55For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. 56Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him. 57Just as the living Father sent me and I have life because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on me will have life because of me.b (John 6.

“And the glory which thou hast given me, I have given to them—I in them and thou in me” (John, xvii, 22, 23). As Jesus has adopted His true believers so we inherit His Mother as Our Mother.

A woman is a man’s mother either if she carried him in her womb or if she was the woman contributing half of his genetic matter or both. Mary was the mother of Jesus in both of these senses; because she not only carried Jesus in her womb but also supplied all of the genetic matter for his human body, since it was through her—not Joseph—that Jesus “was descended from David according to the flesh” (Rom. 1:3).

We say that she is the Mother of God in the sense that she carried in her womb a divine person—Jesus Christ, God “in the flesh” (2 John 7, cf. John 1:14)—and in the sense that she contributed the genetic matter to the human form God took in Jesus Christ.

May God help you find and understand the Truth.
