“Dr. Eckleburg, have you ever asked any Catholics if they worship Mary? I have. And while I cant speak for Catholics everywhere, here in the South they get offended at that question and emphatically deny that they worship Mary.”
Roman Catholics in the Philippines certainly don’t deny that they actually worship the blessed so-called virgin, who didn’t die a virgin — she had other children after Christ was born. It was only necessary that Jesus Christ be virgin born, not his half-brothers or half-sisters.
A personal opinion not supported by Scripture or people like Luther, Calvin, Zwingli, et al.
I don't know of any Catholics (in the Philippines or elsewhere) who believe that Mary had any other children, or that she ever lost her virginity. And AFAIK, Catholics believe that Mary herself was "immaculately conceived" (ie in similar manner to Jesus).
True. true.
