Ever hear of "Queen of Heaven"? The Roman Catholic Church has elevated her to godhood.
Correct! Since the Catholic Church never proclaimed Mary as a deity or anything close for that matter, then we have agreement again.
ibid. Mary has been proclaimed by the Roman Catholic Church as being without sin (Catechism 411, 493). She is also place as co-mediator with Christ (Catechism 968-970, 2677).
Are you the sole arbiter of when expressions of love and honor rise to the level of idolization?
No, never said I was. I was merely giving my interpretation of a scene I have seen many times.
I love my wife to the degree that I would DIE for her. Tell me, do I worship my wife?
By definition, yes. But I am not suggesting you rely on her for your salvation or that you pray to her.
That's Mary, Mother of God.
The Catholic Church has elevated her to godhood.
Completely false. Exodus 20:16 seems to mean nothing to you.
None of that is deification. All of it is misinterpreted and distorted by enemies of the Church.
LOL! That's just silly and is completely contrary to all Catholic doctrine. Do you actually read what you type before you hit the post button?
I was merely giving my interpretation of a scene I have seen many times.
So, at least we've clarified that it is your interpretation. It's just too bad that your interpretation is incorrect.
By definition, yes. But I am not suggesting you rely on her for your salvation or that you pray to her.
Catholics do not rely upon Mary for salvation either. You've created the perfect strawman. Nice work.
