Sorry ealgeone, You are blind and deaf, I know many have tried to help you but you still say the same errors. I will continue to Pray for your Soul.
“catholics renounce their worship of Mary”
Catholics do NOT worship Mary but we do honor Our Mother and Ask for Her Intersession. I will Ask her to pray for you too on my next Rosary.
God Bless
No no no! Quit “Mary worshipping” and join a church that doesn’t. For example, this pro-abortion lesbian minister’s church does not “Mary worship.” Having a lesbian minister that thinks infanticide is super awesome is so much better than saying a Hail Mary. Do I need a /sarc?
Catholicism teaches Mary is our advocate though it is no where supported in Scripture.
In the Glories of Mary by Alphonsus de Liguor, a catholic bishop, (page 129) we have this:
Hence St. Ephrem says: Thou art the only advocate of sinners, and of those who are deprived of every help; and he thus salutes her: Hail! refuge and retreat of sinners, to whom alone they can flee with confidence.

The Bible teaches we have the Holy Spirit and Christ as our Advocate in refutation of the false catholic writing above.
1 Peter 5:6-7 tells us: Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, so that in due time He may exalt you. 7Cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you. (NASB)
This again refutes the false roman catholic doctrine that it is ONLY mary to whom we can flee to with confidence.
Roman catholicism is slowly replacing Christ as our only Savior and Redeemer with a false one in Mary.
The reliance of the roman catholic on Mary for their salvation, answered prayers, etc, is a rejection of Christ as our ONLY Savior and the only One to Whom we are to address our prayers, concerns, etc.
We won't even get into the false promise of the scapulars catholics claim can keep you from the hell fire if you are wearing one when you die.
