Nice of Rick to simply restate the facts but I'm concerned about the Pope or any Catholic getting a bit too close to Rick Warren's Brokeback Church "go along to get along Christianity"

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.

Regards

To a Roman Catholic, the truth is what the RCC has indoctrinated them to believe, many since birth.

To a non-RCC Christian, the Truth is the Lord Jesus Christ and Him alone.

Christians, as opposed to Roman Catholic church members not born again of the Spirit, believe/have faith in the Word of God and not in a group of unregenerate men dictating the current version of their truth to RCC members as they deem necessary.
