Why then would the church (by that I mean Christians) base their foundation on a man and not on Jesus? Yes, Christ did give the keys to Peter. Does that mean the church would be founded on him, a man? My reference isn't about denominations at all, it is about who all Christians worship.

We all worship God here, so I don't think that's up for debate.

We Catholics do not worship Mary.

Christ left Peter (and his successors as his human shepherd.

You pray to her and that is worship reserved for God alone. There are catholics and some catholic churches who believe she can forgive sins. Catholics also believe she a mere mortal woman has never sinned. Of course in a religion where tradition overrules the very Word of God, these heresies are bound to happen.

I have seen threads like this here and elsewhere before. I have never seen a catholic acknowledge the facts/truth shown in one of these threads yet. I have seen catholics one on one come to realize the teachings of the RCC is not biblical though. It must be that most catholics just don't want to embrace the truth found in the Word of God, they love their religion over all else.

Yes, we all worship God and that is my point. Would the foundation of the church not be on the one we are to worship?

"We Catholics do not worship Mary."

I didn't say that you worshipped Mary but I have seen people pray and kneel to her. Perhaps we have a different name for it.

"Christ left Peter (and his successors as his human
shepherd."

Yes He did, as well as the other apostles. He also left His Word.
