I say I do not worship Mary, you say I do.

Petronski...You (Catholics in general) 'look like you are worshipping Mary'...Obviously your church tells you it is not worship...What can you do except accept their authority...

You ever try to look at it objectively??? You appear to go thru the motions of worship...The perception is that you worship Mary...

If you did not worship Mary, wouldn't it seem that others outside of your religion would recognize that???

[Do RC’s ever try to look at it objectively??? [RC’s] appear to go thru the motions of worship...The perception is that [a significant percentage of them] worship Mary...

If [they] did not worship Mary, wouldn’t it seem that others outside of [the RC edifice, the RC] religion would recognize that???

EXCELLENT POINTS.

In other words, if Mary could intercede on our behalf, if she could even hear us, she could only listen to one of us at a time.

Exactly...

OK, So let’s address false doctrine. In order that we can have a manageable dialog within reasonable time constraints, can you select two (no more than two for now) specific areas that you believe are false doctrine and why?

you also profess your belief that the Pope is the antichrist.

You're breaking the rules again.

Try harder.

Do you have anything to contribute beyond vacuous gainsaying?

Your post had nothing substantive to it, hence the reason for my 'gainsaying'

obviously, I was referring to the top earthly authority in the early church. It’s so obvious that I have to wonder about your motives for posting. Is there a statute of limitations on pedantry? What’s the oldest post you have felt the need to answer in such a way?

You said you accept the WCF. Am I wrong?

You're saying I need to set aside what I actually believe and worry about your misperception about what I believe? Do you know how arrogant you sound?

If you did not worship Mary, wouldn't it seem that others outside of your religion would recognize that???

You presume goodwill. I do not.

Do you know how insulting that is? Catholics haven't thought through their beliefs, they don't understand what they are doing, they just follow along worshiping Mary and denying it because the Church tells them to deny it.

Where do you get the nerve?

Accurately describing repeated behaviors is far from false witness.

But falsely describing them is false witness.

My fear is that my Catholic brothers and sisters will miss heaven because of false teachings from Rome. I pray that’s not true, but I’m afraid for some it will be.

Specifically which Catholic teachings do you think may endanger the Salvation of Catholics? What specifically do we NOT believe that is critical in your opinion?

Iscool, I agree with you. My quote “In the first excerpt, Mary is praying to her Son to deliver our souls” was a quote from SOMEONE ELSE.....then “I” responded: “She [Mary] has no power of her own.”

Hope that clears things up for you. You are absolutely correct that ‘Mary has no influence on Jesus to deliver souls, pizza, or a big screen tv...” (LOL @ the pizza, big screen tv remark)

“She [Mary] has no power of her own.”

I'm glad to see you are starting to accept Catholic teaching.

That looks like it. Unfortunately I couldn’t ‘zoom in’ on the tiny pic of the altar they have posted. If I could you could clearly see what I’m talking about.

Triggered a memory of that old proverb . . .

we see others as we are.
