it fits in well with all the other pagan rites of the Roman Church including pachamama, mariology and works righteousness
The anti-Catholic bigotry is strong with this one.
Do you think the veneration of the mother of Jesus Christ is a pagan rite?
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.
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.
Righteousness means holiness.
Are you sure you are talking about the ONE, HOLY, CATHOLIC and APOSTOLIC CHURCH?
