I used to take comfort in the perception that at least Roman Catholics were Trinitarians.

However, after all these threads and comments and worshipful tags by Roman Catholics about Mary and her position in the Roman Catholic church, any Christian would have to wonder.

Can they not see "there is a lie in their right hand?"

Consider the thousands of websites put up by faithful Roman Catholics such as this one which blurs the line between mortal mother and divine Son so that the following prayer is made to Mary and Jesus as if they were one person...

ACT OF CONSECRATION TO THE MOST SACRED HEART OF JESUS AND IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY

Most Sacred Heart of Jesus and Immaculate Heart of Mary, I CONSECRATE myself and my whole family to you. We consecrate to you: our very being and all our life. All that we are. All that we have. and all that we love. To you we give our bodies, our hearts and our souls. To you we dedicate our home and our country. Mindful of this CONSECRATION, we now promise you to live the Christian way by the practice of Christian virtues, with regard for human respect.

O most Sacred Heart of Jesus and Immaculate Heart of Mary, accept our humble confidence and this ACT OF CONSECRATION by which we entrust ourselves and all our family to you. In you, we put all our hope and we shall never be confounded.

MOST SACRED HEART OF JESUS, HAVE MERCY ON US. IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY, BE OUR SALVATION.

"...heart of Mary, be our salvation???"

No wonder so many Roman Catholics seem so confused when scripture is finally presented to them. "One God and one mediator between God and men, Christ Jesus."

The two figures in the following picture certainly seem to display a peculiar and anti-Trinitarian parity. They even look like the same person...

You haven't demonstrated your point unless your point is that you will resort to any distortion to try to demonstrate your spiritual superiority. Your inability to comprehend the difference between veneration and worship and the projection of your own pathologies doesn't change the Church.

Comfort? When did you ever express comfort with Christianity or any of its beliefs? Or even belief in them?

The difference between Sacred and Immaculate escapes you does it? Thousands of websites? Most of the ones that you post are questionable at best or hate sites at worst. Your wayoflife hate site which was strongly antiCatholic saved the bulk and the core of its hatred for Calvinists, which you apparently overlooked.

You don't post as if you know the difference between sacred and immaculate. Or what consecration means. Or that you know that since we have no image of either Jesus or Mary (except for the icon painted (written really) by the Gospel author Luke), there have no basis whatsoever to criticize this images in these paintings. Or know the Gospels. Or know most of Paul's writings except for what your coven tells you and also what it is supposed to mean. You only post as if you know snippets of the OT and what your coven tells you that they mean.

You prate and prattle about American superiority and we can only find the American Machen awash in a sea of foreign religious idols that you post on. You pull up antiCatholic sites and we find out that they hate Calvinists more. You get your YOPIOS wrong, and your YOPIOP (photos) even more wrong.
