“Catholics don’t worship dead people either”

Sure they do. Idols as well.

“Maybe it would help you if would invoke the Holy Spirit who is God for discernment of the Scriptures.”

I thought I had to have a priest?

YOur understanding of the English language is as poor as your understanding of Scripture and the Catechism. You would be well served if you gained an understanding of the difference between the words worship and venerate and between the words icon and idol.

You may be able to explain what you believe and why, but you are completely ignorant of Catholicism. Further, you should try to explain how you can profess any intimate or in depth knowledge or understanding of what the Catholic Church does or does not teach and what Catholics do or do not believe without ever having read the Catechism.

Thank you for a FINE example of telling Catholics what they believe, even though you don’t know the subject well.

That bigoted behavior is much appreciated, for the edification of Snake Doctor.

FYI, Catholics are encouraged to read the Bible on their own. They can even receive one of those infamous indulgences for it, no money involved.

What can I say...when you have 24,000 sects pressing down on you, who would know the truth. God appointed 24,000 sects to put his word out? Where is that in scripture, Christ appointed 24,000 sects?. God always appointed one person to represent Him, like Moses, like Peter. And I’m sure many are dead that started all those 24,000 sects, so continuing to listen to dead men who are not appointed by God is worshipping them and not God.
