Yes, just as I'm doing for you right now. That is not to say that by praying I am helping save souls

But you are! Or at least you are trying to help in the salvation of others. Don't think this takes away from Jesus. It's what Jesus wanted us to do when He sent the disciples out with the Great Commission.

nor am I calling myself, "Queen of all things", not am I placing a humongous statue of myself in the center of the altar of a Catholic Church in Evansville, IN larger and more prominent than Christ Himself! (And yes I've seen that).

It would help if you didn't go off on these tangents. Take one thing at a time.

Dave, its hard not to go off on that tangent. That statue of Mary was HUGE, dead center of the altar and Christ was nowhere. Finally I found him in a tiny alcove off to the side, not even ON the altar. And He was about a fifth of the size of Mary. Try as you may to insist you don’t worship Mary, but I am hard pressed to believe that because of what I saw in that church. Mary had a place in that church in a preeminent position and Christ was secondary to her. You have no idea how offensive that was to see that.
