I'm a Catholic and no real Catholic WORSHIPS MARY! We REVERE her as the Mother of God. Why that is so hard to understand is beyond me. Maybe some evil force won't let that get thru to people that aren't Catholic.

The HOLY SPIRIT is how Mary came to be pregnant with Jesus.....what "god" are you talking about? The TRINITY....GOD the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit...EVER ONE! It takes FAITH to believ in The TRINITY and faith to believe in ALL the miracles that they have done.

No argument here...

Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. Matthew 1:18

And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon you, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow you: therefore also that Holy thing which shall be born of you shall be called the Son of God. Luke 1:35

I’ve been called a “Triniterian” in the Religion Forum as though it were the N word...

Had never heard that term before...

But yes I believe in the Trinity..I was taught the Trinity as a child..

The Trinity makes more sense than the lack of it..

For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. 1 John 5:7

Cardinal Antonio Bacci would like to have a word with you....

....The literature of the Saints is a practical complement to the Gospel, because it shows us how the Gospel should be lived.

The worship of the Saints is an act of veneration (dulia), not of adoration (latria), which can be given only to God. It is wrong to imagine, as many Protestants do, that by praying to and venerating the Saints we subtract something from the homage we owe to God. The veneration of the Saints and the adoration of God are entirely distinct activities. Moreover, the Saints are the faithful servants of God and intercede with Him on our behalf. By venerating and invoking them, we honour the Giver of all holiness. If anyone, on the other hand, were to disregard the worship of God in favour of devotion to the Saints, he would be making a serious mistake. A person who goes into a church and rushes over to a statue of the Blessed Virgin or of one of the Saints, without giving a thought to the living and real presence of Jesus in the Blessed Eucharist, is developing a false and sentimental piety.
