Intoduce me to a Roman Catholic who believes that Mary is worshipped. I dare you; I double-dare you!

Well, if you're ever out my way I'll introduce you to my ex-mother-in-law who has a 4 foot statue of the Blessed Virgin(the Miraculous medal one) in the dining room, is a member of the Legion of Mary, and has a grotto with our Lady of Fatima statue in her garden, and I could go on. She prays to Mary every day. Many of her friends do the same.

As a matter of your persepective, that may seem like worship to you. To your perspective, only God should be "prayed to." I have a feeling, however, that your ex-mother-in-law, along with those like her, will tell you that Mary does nothing by herself. She doesn't have divine powers. She is still a creature. All is accomplished with God.

LOLOLOLOLOL!!!!

Oh my Good God!
And you actually believe that this indicates that she worships Mary?
Have you read the Mission statement for the Legion of Mary?

Intercession, is the key word.

Check this out...
Hail Mary
Full of Grace the Lord is with Thee
Blessed art thou amoungst women and Blessed is the Fruit of Thy womb Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God
PRAY FOR us sinners........Amen.

Notice the PRAY FOR?!?

Not have Mercy on us.
You have no clue what you are talking about.
