Amen. Roman Catholics do not understand how Protestants are physically put off by the kneeling to saints and veneration of Mary and all the accompanying fawning over men and the creation when God instructs all men to bow to only Him.
I wish for them the same discerning antagonism God has given us in response to those Christ-obscuring lies.

INDEED! AMEN! AMEN! AMEN!
In 1501 at the age of eighteen Luther entered the University of Erfurt where he studied the liberal arts, and in 1505 attained his Master’s degree with the intention of studying Law as was his father’s wish. However that was not to be as it is said that while Luther was just outside of Stotterheim one day after visiting his parents he was caught in a terrific thunderstorm where lightning struck nearby, thus throwing him to the ground and in his terror he called out “St. Anne Help me! I will become a monk!”
Sounds like your leader praying to a Saint to me.
