[Dr. Eckleburg]

We obviously see things differently.

Amen. By the grace of God alone.

"But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased.

Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.

They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:

They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not:

They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.

They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them." -- Psalms 115:3-8

So when Roman Catholics tell us they do not worship Mary, that they merely look to her for help, are we not to view that help as a kind of "trust" which God cautions us against?

BTW, while I was looking up that verse I found these...

""For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.

Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth.

They continue this day according to thine ordinances: for all are thy servants.

Unless thy law had been my delights, I should then have perished in mine affliction.

I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast quickened me.

I am thine, save me" -- Psalms 119:89-94

Great stuff, eh? Especially after reading RnMom's posted prayers by Roman Catholics which say believers belong to Mary...

"My Queen! my Mother! I give thee all myself, and, to show my devotion to thee, I consecrate to thee my eyes, my ears, my mouth, my heart, my entire self. Wherefore, O loving Mother, as I am thine own, keep me, defend me, as thy property and possession."

You made the claim, where's your proof?

Your anti-Catholic gruel gets thinner and thinner.

As Christ wills.
