Accusing Catholics of worshipping Mary is bearing false witness again, Ottofire.

I do not agree that saying 'Hail Mary' is anything but a prayer to her as a divine being. Just as I do not agree with the Muslim that Allah is not the God of the Bible. Is that bearing false witness? No. It is stating an opinion.
