[BrandtMichaels]

The scriptures you refer to were never intended to become a prayer to Mary.

The church and the saints are pretty clearly Biblically defined AND well before the RCC came into existence too.

BTW vicar means substitute, do you really think anyone can possibly be a substitute for Jesus?

The Bible does not change but the RCC as well as most every mainline christian denomination changes with the culture. Is that not how some liberal sects suceeded in deciding it’s OK to be homosexual?

You either read, revere and follow the Bible yourself, or you blindly let others do it for you. And consequently allow yourselves to be misled on any/all doctrines.

"Vicar" also means "deputy," in the sense of a steward. The Pope isn't the only "vicar" in the Church. Also, despite you and your co-religionists insistence, the RCC is older by centuries than you seem to be indicating.

The bottom line is, "sola scriptura" is of man, not of God.
