[Isaiah_66_2]

Such as, the papist say they "worship" Mary but don't "adore" Mary.

Wrong. I refrain from calling you a liar, because I believe you are honestly mistaken.

Are you saying that you "adore" Mary or "worship", Mary? Which is it?

No, I'm not wrong nor am I mistaken. Practically every papist I've met when challenged with them worshipping Mary by praying to Mary, respond that they worship Mary, giving the meaning of "worship" to be veneration, but they don't "adore" Mary, giving the meaning of "adoration", to be what "worship" means in Scripture.
(BTW--a question--if 60,000 people are praying to Mary at the same time, does Mary hear all of them at once, or are they recorded so she can listen to them one at the time?)

No, it is you who are wrong, and I won't call you a liar either because I know how confused most papist are.

Excellent point. One that has not been made here. I would submit if Mary could hear more than 1 prayer at a time that would make her something other than mere man. And the catholics wouldn't want to admit that? Would they?

For what it's worth, we, the NC's, generally refer to Roman Catholics as RC's, and their Church as the RCC even though many RC's seem to think "Church" as synonomous with "Roman Catholic Church" and "Catholic" with "Roman Catholic".

By avoiding "pet" names for anothers Church and/or religion we avoid much of the misunderstanding which could result over the meaning of our choice of words.

All of this to say, I wish you would accept this "tradition" and replace your favorite words with RCC and RC.

Thanks,

Yes, you are wrong. Catholics venerate Mary, they do not "worship" her. Worship is reserved for God alone. Glad to have cleared this up for you.
