You are always a Catholics, once you are baptized a Catholic. You can come back to the church at any time.
BTW, Catholics ask Mary to pray for them.
You’ve asked someone to pray for you, haven’t you?
So what’s so terrible about that?
Please find a priest you can sit down with and talk and get your questions answered.
We will welcome you back with open arms.
All Christians are dead, in the ground. We all, dead and live alike, await Christ’s return, where “the dead in Christ will rise first”.
We are NOT to pray to other human beings, inclusive of Mary. This is dangerous theology.
I just love this part. Every time you post it. It sounds so...well...innocent...
Is Mel Gibson a Catholic?
I ask the Living to pray. I do not ask the dead nor pray to the dead nor FOR the dead. Let the dead bury their dead. Christ alone LIVES. All others sleep.
Mary is dust, and she will wake up, transformed, the same time as everyone else who has died since Christ. She isn’t hearing prayers, thinking any thoughts or aware of anything that is or has gone on for the last 2000 years. Zippo. Nada. Zilch. None. Nope.
“BTW, Catholics ask Mary to pray for them.”
The article quoted seems to say that Mary is supposed to do a lot more than pray. All God’s graces are supposed to pass through her, etc.
That is a whole lot more than asking me to pray for you.
You asked: “You’ve asked someone to pray for you, haven’t you?”
Never a dead person!!
Jesus said “no one goes to the Father but by me”
That says to me that if you don’t go directly to the Father in Jesus name He doesn’t hear.
Why can't you answer them???
