No offense to you personally, but that stuff is one of the many reasons I quit the Catholic club years ago.
Popes are nobody special to my soul. And why pray to Mary? She can’t forgive you.
Mary is certainly to be admired, but not worshiped or relied upon for saving your soul. Jesus is the savior and intercessor.
I pray to God, in Christ’s name. Jesus never prayed to nor suggested we pray to His mom.
If this is a thread for still-practicing Catholics only, then I will gladly and peacefully bow out now.
It's not.
The whole diversion by bringing Mary into it is clearly just pot stirring.
Where in the Litany that I posted, is Mary worshiped?
I only see intercessions for Her to to pray for us.
It is only God; the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, Who is worshiped in the Litany.
