I believe there countless millions of Catholics in this world who have no idea who the Lord is. They pray to Mary, they pray to various Saints, they pray to statues, they never pray directly to Jesus. What the "Official Church Teaching" is, it is of no matter if the "people" don't have any idea what it is. This is what I believe is dangerous.Z

I think you are jumping at shadows. Catholics pray to other people besides Jesus, but prayer isn't worship. Only God do we [Catholics] worship. And, we do it every day at mass. One of the reason we don't like Protestant faith is that you ain't worshiping Jesus, just praying to Him. We sacrifice ourselves to God and we offer the only worthy sacrifice to Him in the form of His only Son. We love God above all else. Your silly argument that the RCC is bad because some people might not understand it, is true. But, you are missing the point.

I beg to differ. And what leads you to make this kind of remark. That's a little to much of a generalization. You could say the same about any number of Catholics.

We sacrifice ourselves to God and we offer the only worthy sacrifice to Him in the form of His only Son.

That's right. You sacrafice Him over and over, rather then believe what the bible says that he had to die ONLY ONCE, for all sin.
