Maybe not in the Mass....but Roman Catholics make up for it in lots of other places and ways.

While I do not like the idea of this being performed in India, at least they can claim that it’s something that is a part of their culture. When it’s done at a Mass that Cupich is doing, who has no relationship whatsoever to that culture, it’s just another intended knee to the groin by Cupich.
it fits in well with all the other pagan rites of the Roman Church including pachamama, mariology and works righteousness
Fake nuns.
The anti-Catholic bigotry is strong with this one.
Do you think the veneration of the mother of Jesus Christ is a pagan rite?
No surprise that Blaise Cupich was involved.
It's strong with Satan, also.
The word "mario-LOGY" simply means "the study of Mary" (just like soteriology = the study of salvation, ecclesiology = the study of the the Church, pneumatology = study of the Spirit, missiology = study of the missions.) We do study all these areas.
Perhaps the word you were looking for was "mario-LATRY," which would mean adoration of Mary, that is, wrongly giving her, a creature and handmaid, the supreme worship which is due only to the Supreme Being, God, our Creator and Lord.
Be careful not to confuse these words. "Latria" doesn't mean study ("Logia"), it means adoration. The study of Mary is not the adoration of Mary.
The Church considers "latria" directed to anybody except for God, a grave error: it is the heresy of idolatry.
Thanks for giving me the opportunity to clarify this for our readers.
If it’s an accepted part of the mass in India, I guess I am missing the issue. Is it because they did it outside of India?
In additon to your post:
Latria is reserved for God alone, no others. It is the worships of God, alone.
Hyperdulis is reserved for the Mother of Jesus Christ. It’s veneration, not worship.
Dulia is the veneration of all the saints and angels in Heaven above us. Also not worship.
Pachamama is as much a "pagan rite of the Roman church" as homosexual marriage is a pagan rite of the Lutheran church.
Don't accept it as Lutheran? Great, I don't accept pachamama as Catholic. Want me to respect your view? Try respecting mine.
My church does not officially accept homosexual marriage nor has there been a homosexual marriage in an LCMS church that I am aware of. The day that there is if that congregation is not immediately put outside the LCMS it cease to be my Church. When a Church takes on apostate views and rituals it is up to the laity to decide what to do about it. I will not worship in an apostate a Church. Apparently most Catholics will
While I respect your views, Pachamama has been brought into the altar of the catholic church by your leadership, the same way this Hindu rite has been. You can only make excuses so long then you have to act. I feel for you that the church you grew up in has gone this far down the road of apostasy, it’s not easy to see I’m sure. However that does not remove the responsibility of those in the pew to draw a line and take a stand or leave. I wish you much discernment what is best to do. I think the time is coming when all true Blood bought Christians will be worshipping in home underground Churches again unless the Lord returns soon
As for mariolatry and works righteousness we will never agree but the plain teaching and actions of the RCC speaks for themselves I guess we will continue to disagree on that one.
Yeah, right. And we all know protestants hate Mary with a passion.
Then you know less than you think you do. The only act of worship that Catholics have is the holy Sacrifice of the Mass where we join ourselves to the one sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the Cross where he offers himself to the Father. Can you show any Mass where the sacrifice is made to Mary? No. Catholics worship God alone!
Yeah, right. And we all know protestants hate Mary with a passion.
No....Christians do not hate Mary with a passion. You continue to persist in advancing yet another falsehood. You seem to be wracking them up again this week.
What is condemned though is the idolization of Mary by Roman catholicism.
Maybe not in the Mass....but Roman Catholics make up for it in lots of other places and ways.
