And when you bow to Mary and the saints, you make them gods.
How do you figure? I was brought up to give a very slight bow when I was introduced to folks.
***And when you bow to Mary and the saints, you make them gods.***
Do we now?
Does that mean that when someone of secular authority such as a monarch passes by and we bow, we are worshipping them? Or when performers on the stage come out and bow to the audience, they are worshipping them? Ever been bowed out of a New York hotel by the doorman? I guess that I have been made a god by the doorman, eh?
Bowing is a sign of respect or reverence. Prostrating one’s self, now that is worship.
