When I see RC's bowing down or kneeling to statues, or images, of Mary I know they aren't praying to Jesus.

Catholic/Orthodox liturgical prayers are pretty "formulaic," in the sense that Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ is always invoked. You'll see them ending with sentences such as, "Through Our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Who Lives and reigns with Thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, one God, world without end. Amen."

That doesn’t matter!

What the Catholic actually intends to do—what’s really in his heart at that moment—doesn’t matter!

All that matters is what an anonymous omniscient anti-Catholic bigot SAYS the Catholic is doing....that’s what’s determinative here.

Not the Catholic...NOT the Catholic.
