“However, we don’t see the worship of Mary, the idols of Mary, indulgences, penance, etc in the NT church which are current practices in the RCC. Worship those idols with pride vlad...worship them with pride.”

“To Protestantism False Witness is the principle of propagation. “ (John henry Newman, Lecture 4. True Testimony Insufficient for the Protestant View)

21For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures. 24Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, so that their bodies would be dishonored among them. 25For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

Romans 1:21-25 NASB

The Roman Catholic Church has done with Mary just what Paul instructs not to be done.

They've set up idols of her, they kneel before the idols and offer prayers before them, rely upon Mary for answered prayer and in some instances salvation through wearing a medal or piece of cloth.
