That's inteesting that you say Catholics don't worship Mary. As a Protestant at a Catholic school, Father Clarence told me that I was damned to Hell because I didn't pray to Mary and that I was not saved if I refused to pray to the Saints because God won't listen unless the Saints intercede.
All I'm saying is that what you psted is not what all Catholics believe.

Apologies then, because Father Clarence was dead wrong and a better informed priest would never say such balderdash. Praying to saints is in addition to, not exclusive of, praying to God.

In fact, our Litanies to the saints *always* start with prayers to the Holy Trinity first and foremost before invoking any of the saints.
