Why do Catholics insist on worshiping Jesus's mother when the Holy Spirit through Scripture sternly, repeatedly warns not to worship anyone but God? If tradition trumps Scripture in your eyes, you had best be ready to defend that before Jesus since He said:

"For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled." - Matthew 5:18

I was watching a few minutes of EWTN. When they showed Mary just like Jesus, I changed channels. I am not watching junk.

Why do you insist on lying by claiming Catholic theology says Mary is God?

[CharlesOConnell]

Worship is expressing worthiness. Why do I see stained glass windows depicting Jean Calvin at Westminister Presbyterian on the north side of the California State Capitol? Why didn’t iconoclastic Protestant America object to placing the image of Abraham Lincoln in a Greek style temple?

Catholics give reverence, doulia, to worthy models of holiness, called Saints in scripture. They give hyperdoulia to Mary, as saved ahead of time from sin by the merits of Christ’s sacrifice before her conception, a fitting vessel for the enfleshment of God as man. This was the Church’s consistent tradition before 1517, east, west, north and south.

Ignorance. Catholics do not worship Mary, and Sacred Tradition does not trump Scripture — both are equal pillars.
