No. I would say that most of our church practices are scriptural. 90% +.
See you are taking the word of the church ON FAITH ALONE and without any assurance or confirmation that what you are doing is even ok with God let alone blessed by Him.
I believe I have told you before how reason plays its role, how history plays a role, how tradition plays a role, how scripture plays a role.....but if one believes that the RCC is the Church that Christ founded then the Holy Spirit has a role as well, so it is ok with God.
Satan hates the name of Christ. He does not mind latin or prayers and candles before a statue , because all of that keeps you from worshipping the only one worthy of worship. In fact satan loves your prayer time
My mention of latin was in reference to another recent thread about Satan hating latin. It was meant in humor. Christ is the subject of the rosary. It is entirely Christocentric. I have referred you to " Rosarium Virginus Mariae ". The great pope explains everything about the rosary one could want to know, and in terms I think you would appreciate, but I suppose one needs ears to hear. Satan hates my rosary.
Can you know with assurance that Fatima and Lourdes were not demonic manifestations? Where do you find that God has used the physically deceased to communicate with men?
Yes, because Fatima and Lourdes draw people to Christ. Mary "magnifies the greatness of the Lord." One does not see her without seeing the Incarnation. Off the top of my head the transfiguration demonstrates the physically deceased communicating with men.
I know your church loves the rosary, but how do you know God does? Do you seek to please God or men?
I think that God is pleased that we honor His mother in the way that we do. That she continues to play an important role in our faith-life, just as He graced her with such an important role in His revelation.
the resacrifice of Chris/ unscripitual, prayers to saint /unscripitual, Marys assumption/unscripitual. Marys immaculate conception/unscripitual, rosaries/unscripital ,purgatory/unscripitual, apostolic succession/unscripitual, infant baptism/unscripitual, I could go on but you get the point I am sure. What IS scripitual about your church? What is the 90%

"Reason must be based on FACTS. Where are the facts found that you believe by reason?

If I call one of my sons and talk about another the entire time, who was actually the focus of the call? You may occasionally think about Christ, but then you pray to and trust His mother . It is about HER
Yes, because Fatima and Lourdes draw people to Christ.
No quite the opposite, they draw people to Mary, not Christ .Satan loves it in any language :) look at your local paper "thank you Mary for favors granted or prayers answered" , Whos image do the peope wear around their neck? Who's image do they place as a plaster saint in their front yard? That is not glory to God, that takes people away from the ONE mediator that God made for men. Christ !
Mary "magnifies the greatness of the Lord." One does not see her without seeing the Incarnation. Off the top of my head the transfiguration demonstrates the physically deceased communicating with men.
No they never spoke to men, they spoke only to the mediator Jesus Christ.
Mar 9:3 And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller on earth can white them.
Mar 9:4 And there appeared unto them Elias with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus.
I think that God is pleased that we honor His mother in the way that we do.
The truth is what YOU think is of no importance, what God think is .There is no pattern or approval for the kind of "honor" that Catholics give Mary. It is a tradition of men never approved by God .
That she continues to play an important role in our faith-life, just as He graced her with such an important role in His revelation.
What "revelation "might that be?

Mar 3:32 And the multitude sat about him, and they said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee.
Mar 3:33 And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brethren?
Mar 3:34 And he looked round about on them which sat about him, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!
Mar 3:35 For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother.
