“Matt Slick, writing on the website of the Christian Apologetics & Research Ministry, goes into great detail with material from Roman Catholic sources that say Mary is “the all holy one,” is to be prayed to, worshipped”
People can say/write/blog that all they want until the end of time, and it still will be a false statement.
What’s the worry? The Pope is a lot better man than ObaMao, whom Warren already embraced.
If this is the first time these guys had a problem with Warren, then, well, I’m not sure what to say.
Rick Warren is correct. The Catholic Church venerates Mary, but not as a "god."
To your point, Warren is above all, Slick and IMHO all PR, little substance, if any.
Warren also is actively involved with the United Nations Agenda 21 Campaign. Saddleback Community Church (a part of the Southern Baptist Convention) is a United Nations recognized Nongovernmental Organization. Warren also advocates that there are many ways to christ. Warren also advocates the New World On Church. Come on lets face it Warren is a New Age Porpoise Age of Aquarius believer. I remeber when his book the Purpose Driven Church was a mandatory part of the Curriculia. When a number of seminary students approached the Seminary President the book was removed from the requireemnts. The Association of Theological Schools accrediation has changed so much since I attended seminary back in the early to mid 90s.
The church of today is much different. I will honestly say that Christians must be discerning of what is happening in the Church, political correctness has moved into the church.
Praying to anybody who isn’t God is idolatry.

Eph 413 ....until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God.
This is the prophetic promise of God to his church, we will be one with the Father and Son as they are one.
The goats, tares and dogs will be removed. So all the church’s doctrinal positions will for once and all be aligned with the Word of God. That means there will be great changes brought by the hand of God to his church. The upheaval with the Baptists alone will be massive as it will be for Catholics and all who neglect the Word of God for traditions and sunk faith.
Jesus is returning for his church without spot or wrinkle, who worship him in Spirit and truth. So I am, not worried about false doctrines, or what goats do or don’t do, or those who declare the Holy Spirit powerless, God will do what he will do and he will unite his church.
The goats will cry Lord Lord, and the dogs who lied about the Holy Spirit will have their reward.
I just chuckled. What would happen in Rick Warren converted to Catholicism?
Arguing the straw-man BS about Catholics worshiping Mary depends entirely on a definition for adoration that wasn't in any dictionary until after the turn of the twentieth century and even then or now not the primary definition but one of several possible usages. Adoration and worship are two different things so people who play word games about worshiping Mary just prove they're so desperate they'll try anything to hide the fact that nearly everything they claim to believe is based on one heresy after another.
Such folks start with denying the power and perfection of the Holy Spirit which destroys the Trinity then proceed through embracing the heresy of Core that Jude warns us about God the Father Himself punishing in the book of Numbers and it's obvious that there's nothing but one heresy after another outside the Catholic/Orthodox Church.
No wonder they refuse to stick to the Truth when they make their arguments.
