To: Mrs. Don-o
Whatever your personal limitations, though, do not tell me that I and the majority of Christians (Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, Anglicans ,Lutherans, and many other Protestants) worship Mary. You continue to slander us by repeatedly claiming that we do, and this observably manifests malice.

The truth of the Roman Catholic worship of Mary stings the Roman Catholic. I can understand why the average RC has to deny it.

Yet what is found in this house? An altar to Mary.

L'interno della Santa Casa

BTW: I have never once heard you refer to Mary as Blessed.

Nor will you....for it is but one of many titles accorded to her by Roman Catholicism which are not warranted by Scripture and stand in contradiction of Scripture.

I will ascribe to her what Scripture does... 48“For He has had regard for the humble state of His bondslave; For behold, from this time on all generations will count me blessed.

But despite you, Christians honor Mary at least as much as we honor our own mothers, and, as prophesied, will continue to do so for all generations.

I assure you...there are no altars built for my mom that I kneel before and pray to...unlike what Rome has done with Mary. And please...don't trot out the laughable argument from Staples about pictures of your mom and dad. It's embarrassing for Roman Catholics to resort to that to defend their idolatry.

Wrong, it is an altar to God the Father. The only sacrifice that is offered upon it is that of our Lord Jesus Christ upon the Cross to the Father. The focus of the priest during the Mass would be on the crucifix between the candles. The image of Mary above the altar plays no role during the Mass. The prayers offered to Mary (which are always done outside the sacrifice of the Mass) are purely intercessory, just as you would ask anyone else to pray for you. Please try to understand Catholicism rather than imposing upon it your own misunderstandings and rationalizations.

And there I thought that you had read the Bible:

When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the infant leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth, filled with the holy Spirit, cried out in a loud voice and said, "Most blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb." (Luke 1:41-41)

But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those under the law, that we might receive adoption to sonship.

Matthew 11:11 niv Truly I tell you, among those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist; yet whoever is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
