If you really believe that

Catholics are worshiping idols

you are SERIOUSLY confused.

It’s actually pretty insulting to even suggest such

an absurd thing in polite company.

Would you even have the courage to say

something that stupid to anyone’s face?

Did not say that. Said the statues are a problem.

Also, must correct . . .
Actually is the SECOND commandment missing in RC and Lutheran catechisms:

From God’s Word, the Holy Bible:

Exodus 20:4 “Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:. .”

“No graven images,means statues, sculptures.
They are in Lutheran Churches, too.

Is a problem.

BTW, we are NOT worshipping; but merely hyperduliaing!



hyperdulia

noun

  1. The worship offered by Roman Catholics to the Virgin Mary: so called because it is higher than that given to other saints, which is known as dulia, while the worship due to God alone is called latria. See dulia. Also hyper-duly.
  2. Veneration or worship given to the Virgin Mary as the most exalted of mere creatures; higher veneration than dulia.
  3. A level of veneration higher than dulia but less than latria, properly given to the Virgin Mary.
The Century Dictionary.
