And here we go.

How about you explain how a series of prayers that contemplates the life of Jesus, that has the Our Father, Glory Be, Hail Mary, etc is a pagan practice?

Or is it just because you call everything Catholic pagan?

Why pray to Mary? She was a sinner and in need of salvation through Jesus, just like the rest of us.

As I’m sure you know, Protestants don’t venerate Mary nearly as much as Catholics do. I suppose that’s where an objection might be.

I would strongly disagree with any such objections. Catholics and Protestants both get all the important things right. Sure, there is some disagreements around the edges. That is to be expected.

Anyone who demands 100% agreement from his fellow Christians would soon find himself in a church consisting of one member.

Show anywhere in all scripture
where any prayer was ever addressed
to anyone other than God
- except a pagan god or idol?

Or where a Christian was ever commanded
to pray to anyone other than God?

Matthew 6:7 - “But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.”
