I’m under no obligation to answer any questions from you about my prayer life.
And I won’t ask you about yours.
I know well that I could answer your queries, but I already know, by the nature of your questions, that answering would be an exercise in futility.
Had you asked because you wanted to exchange with me I may have answered; but you asked and then answered for me with your own answers-—so......
I ask this because what you are being taught in the Catchism, doesn’t square with Scripture. I understand, I am ex-RCC. (Although I still get my envelopes every month, after not having set foot in an RCC church for over seven years.) Simply put, the value placed on Mary and the saints in the RCC is antithetical to Gospel Scripture. For Catholics to say, that they don’t pray to or worship Mary is simply a fallacy. In fact, the RCC parish in my town has as it’s centerpiece a huge statue of Mary in the front yard.
