We don’t worship Mary.

But RC doctrine include praying to Mary to "intercede" for us with "her son". Nowhere does the New or Old Testament specify that prayers should be prayed to anyone other than God the Father and God the Son, Jesus Christ.

Those who are misled by this would do well to study their Bibles and seek the truth from the Word of God; they can see for themselves that Scripture condemns this.

Matthew 15:9 "9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men."

Matthew 6:6 "6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly."

In response to the disciples request to be taught to pray, Jesus answered:

Luke 11

"1 And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.
2 And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth."

“But RC doctrine include praying to Mary to “intercede” for us with “her son”.”

So Mary praying for us is us worshiping Mary? If I ask you to pray for my cancer stricken wife, am I worshiping you? If I ask you to mow my lawn am I acknowledging you as Creator of the universe?
