What is it that you don't understand about the Catholic Church?

Have you ever read the CREED?

Do you know that first and foremost Catholics believe in the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit?

Are you aware that Mary was the Mother of God?

Are you aware that the main forcus of the Catholic liturgy (Mass) is the Holy Eucharist instituted by Christ at the Last Supper?

I am speechless that there are still Protestants on this forum who are so uneducated about the Catholic Church!

Please do some research!!!!!!

Now to answer your question about Mary --

Catholics do not put Mary above Christ -- as witnessed in The Apostles and Nicene Creed.

We venerate Mary and ask for her intercession. We realize that the gifts (answers to our prayers) come from God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit!

BTW, have you ever asked anyone to pray for you? That's exactly what Catholics do -- we ask the Blessed Virgin Mary to pray for us!

So, do you still have a problem with this?

Dear lady, I received an answer from you for a prayer request! I was grateful! However, when i think of Divine Intercession, I realize that Christ was the model, who bridged the gap between Man and God. This wondrous act allows us to petition God directly, w/out the necessity of the previous priests, sacrifice, etc.. I was in prayer lately, at my church, and the Lord put it on my heart that I was receiving too much enjoyment arguing with those of other faiths. Therefore, I will try to reserve my comments in the future for truly worthy apologetic trysts. Please take no offense by my reply, only incredulous that such a high honor would be bestowed upon this woman.
