So, tell me . . . YOU’VE NEVER heard an RC talk about praying TO Mary or TO Joseph???

So, tell me...

You've never actually listened to the prayer where they ask Mary to pray for them?

Why is your heart so hardened toward another Christian asking for a loved one to pray for them?

I’ll take the lack of an answer as confirmation that you

HAVE HEARD RC’s mentioning or talking about or actually PRAYING

TO MARY.

Which kind of neuters the rest of the rationalizations.

BTW, my heart is not hardened at all—particularly not toward other believers.

Else I wouldn’t try so hard to warn about the seriousness with which God treats idolatry. And even then, I don’t do so from a lofty place. We all face hazards in that regard.
