Because Catholics only believe in one God. The trinity is not polythesitic.

So...I'm NOT praying to Mary when I finger my beads? And Jesus and God are NOT separate entities? Aren't those statues of Jesus I see in church? Isn't that a picture of God on the roof of the Sistine Chapel? How come they don't look alike? How come God talks to Jesus in the bible, if they are both the same thing? Does God suffer from schizophrenia? Don't you have just a wee tad of trouble wrapping your lips around the statement "The TRINITY is not POLYtheistic". I keep trying, but I break out in a great big goofy grin every time I try.

I'm violating my own rules by feeding a troll like you, but what the heck? I'll indulge myself one last time.

You are, but Mary is not a god, so it's not a polythesitic act.

And Jesus and God are NOT separate entities?

No.

Aren't those statues of Jesus I see in church?Isn't that a picture of God on the roof of the Sistine Chapel?

Yes, but they're only representations. They are not gods.

How come they don't look alike? How come God talks to Jesus in the bible, if they are both the same thing?

God is one being composed of three persons.

Does God suffer from schizophrenia?

Nope.

Don't you have just a wee tad of trouble wrapping your lips around the statement "The TRINITY is not POLYtheistic".

Nope.

Forgive me if I doubt your sincerity.
