Petronski...You (Catholics in general) 'look like you are worshipping Mary'...Obviously your church tells you it is not worship...What can you do except accept their authority...
You ever try to look at it objectively??? You appear to go thru the motions of worship...The perception is that you worship Mary...
If you did not worship Mary, wouldn't it seem that others outside of your religion would recognize that???
[Do RC’s ever try to look at it objectively??? [RC’s] appear to go thru the motions of worship...The perception is that [a significant percentage of them] worship Mary...
If [they] did not worship Mary, wouldn’t it seem that others outside of [the RC edifice, the RC] religion would recognize that???

EXCELLENT POINTS.
You're saying I need to set aside what I actually believe and worry about your misperception about what I believe? Do you know how arrogant you sound?
If you did not worship Mary, wouldn't it seem that others outside of your religion would recognize that???
You presume goodwill. I do not.
Do you know how insulting that is? Catholics haven't thought through their beliefs, they don't understand what they are doing, they just follow along worshiping Mary and denying it because the Church tells them to deny it.
Where do you get the nerve?
I read prayers to Mary every week in local newspapers, but never to Jesus. Hmmm.
