No Catholic worships Mary.

Ha, I've seen the cathedrals to Mary in Italy. She is described in Roman Catholic Literature as a Co-Matrix and Co-Redemptrix. And you expect her to hear your prayers (something only God can do). You believe all grace comes from her, ignoring the passages where the Scripture says that Grace and Truth came by the Lord Jesus Christ alone.

Her statues are worshiped with people bowing down to them.

I'm not fooled.

“I’m not fooled. “


Catholics believe Mary is the Mother of God, Jesus, the second person of the Trinity. Jesus said ‘Behold thy Mother’. Catholics regard Mary just as Jesus did. Jesus was not fooled.

The co- Matrix(?) and co-redemptrix are NOT official policies of the Roman Catholic Church, but are being pushed by a small special interest group. This is sort of like stating that “dominionism” is the official policy of ALL protestant denominations instead of being an idea of a small group of protestants.

The Catholic act of worship is the Mass. Search all the prayers of the Mass, even those of Marian feasts, and you will not find one addressed to Mary. They are all addressed to the God the Father in union with the Son and the Holy Spirit. Catholics do not worship Mary. Learn a little about the subject before you expose any ignorance by speaking of what you know not.

And you expect her to hear your prayers (something only God can do).

Please cite where in the Bible it says that the saints cannot hear our prayers.

Co-Matrix(sic) and Co-Redemptrix.

Co-Redemptrix is a Latin term meaning the woman with the Redeemer not the woman who is equal to the Redeemer.

I'm not fooled.

You've contradicted that assertion several times on this thread alone.
