[Mrs. Don-o]

It would do you good, my brother, to read a little bit about how a Queen Mother in Jewish history was treated by her royal son:

"When Bathsheba went to King Solomon to speak to him for Adonijah, the king stood up to meet her, bowed down to her and sat down on his throne. He had a throne brought for the king's mother, and she sat down at his right hand." (1 Kings 2:19)

There's an interesting amplification of that --- and all from non-Catholic commentators, by the way---here: Honor for the Mother of the King (Link)

A fuller, and even more interesting treatment of the analogy is here: Bathsheba vs. Mary as Queen Mother, Analogy and Counter-Type (Link)

It has been explained to you that Catholics do not worship Mary and do not hold her to be a goddess, but rather Christ our Lord's mother. Please cease circulating falsehoods about Catholic belief.

You yourself might take a moment to ponder the commandment, "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor."

There’s really no way to tell whether he errs from habitual ill-will or from invincible ignorance. I always prefer to assume the latter.

Same old tired defense.

Ex. 20:4 You shall not make for yourself a carved image-...

My eyes and ears don't deceive me. My wife is a former RC. My children went to a RC high school. I watched the school build a grotto that they bragged was wider and taller than the one at Notre Dame University. The grotto had a nice statue of Mary in the middle, no Jesus, and RC's regularly came and bowed down and worshiped Mary. They treat her as if she is God.

At this high school they ended prayers with the words "notre dame".

I've seen the heresy of the RCC and it's loyal followers first hand. I've also been blessed to be able to preach The Gospel to some and I've seen some become Born Again Christians.

You yourself might take a moment to ponder the commandment, "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor."

The problem isn't anyone lying about the heretical beliefs and practices of the RCC and it's members. The problem is since the Reformation Christians have been able to get their hands on Bibles in the vernacular, read them, and see the things RC's do that Christians are told not to do.
