Catholics do worship people. They worship Mary less than God, but more than the saints. You can try and obscure by using the word venerate, but it is a heirarchy of worship. That is the way they used to teach it. Be proud of who you are.
When Clement wrote the words from Rome to Corinth, he was not stating jurisdiction, but direction. A letter from Rome to Corinth.
Ignatius used the word catholic as is was initially meant to be used. It means universal, as in we all worship the same God with the same truths. Just as it is used in the creeds. Later the Church of Rome changed it's name to Catholic because it believed it was the universal church and salvation was not possible outside of the RCC. Power hungry men thirsting for worldly power.
Every member of the one holy catholic and apostolic church will be in heaven. Not every member of the RCC will be in heaven. They are not the same.
It is always so enjoyable when an anti-catholic tells ME what I worship and what I do not worship.
You are wrong, my friend. You have completely misrepresented the catholic faith - not that that would worry you.
I'll say it again...this has nothing to do with the original point of my original post concerning scripture.
I have heard your garbage many times before, and I find it trivial and quite boring - it has been debunked over and again - not that that would matter to you.
You're wrong. I'm a catholic. I do not worship Mary nor any saint. I worship God, His Son Jesus, and His Holy Spirit. That is all. You bear false witness.
