I guess no more so than murder or abortion is to you.

If you want to pray to false idols I guess your right.. that's your business.

Yes, what Catholics do is indeed "our business." Which makes me wonder why you want to put your nose into it.

You mean like that book you worship?

[It's me]

Why does it bother you so much what Catholic do?

I don't care a twit what other religions believe. For example, the Mormons can baptize as many of my ancestors as they want to. It means nothing to me because I do not believe what they are doing "works."

So, if a Cahtolic asks a saint to pray for them, why does it bother you?

Have you ever asked anyone to pray for you, or a sick relative, or anything of that sort? Maybe your brother lost his job, so you asked people with whom you go to church to "pray for my brother"? That is what Catholics do when we "pray to saints." We recognize that NO ONE on this side of Heaven can do it alone, and so ask for all the help we can get--read the Creed:

And so I ask the Blessed Mary, ever virgin,
All the angels and saints,
and you, my brothers and sisters,
to pray for me, to the Lord our God.

Doesn't get much simpler than that--we recite that every Sunday with the Confiteor.

[Theoden]

You are so obviously filled with the love of Christ, that you feel the need to elevate yourself and put down the Church in any way you can. It seems that going "Sola Scripture", you missed out on the passages of love thy neighbor as thy self, do unto others, as you would have them do unto you, etc...(Did not Christ sit with sinners at his table?).

You are blinded by ignorance and hatred. It's easier to just pick & choose a few quotes from the Bible and call yourself "saved".

You blindly make comments about a church that you know nothing about, and do not care to learn anything about it. I truly pity you if you think that Catholics are idol worshipers. I hope you will let go of your hate.

God bless.
