"I asked if she bowed to Mary and assorted saints. I haven't seen an answer to that question yet. Do you bow to Mary and saints?"

Different people show respect different ways. Once upon a time, people bowed to their social superiors (in Japan, they still do). Nobody EVER confused that with worship. So stop pushing what you now know is a false idea.

I can understand that. What I can't understand is Judith Anne saying she "bows to only Christ" when she is a Catholic. Do you know any Catholic who doesn't bow to Mary or to a saint or two?

Do you bow to Mary?

You see it appears to many Protestants that Catholics contradict themselves -- they say they bow to Christ alone, and yet they still bow to Mary and the saints.
