I do think that some know that Mary is indeed prayed to and worshipped within the catholic belief system, even though she is dead and unlike Christ she was not raised from the dead. ......But not all SEE their worship as that....the same with praying to dead Saints, and the carved idols throughout their church buildings. They see it as something else...more like another draw or means to accessing Christ...a help so to speak.
Yes, this does fly in the face of the sufficiency of Christ but some appear to need these extra helps. I do know that many of those who find themselves involved in cults often say that they needed more than what the Christian church offers....they needed “experiences” and ‘supernatural happenings’, signs and wonders apart from the Gospel message itself. They need more and evidences of Christ beyond that which is given. Thus many who leave cults do end up in catholic churches because it offers them the extra they believe they need.
A quick glance reveals that Post #1506 is just a contextless conglomeration of cut-n-paste spam, posted in technicolor playskool font. It debunks nothing. Indeed, it means nothing. Bad Job, Quix.
I do think
You can think anything you like. Doesn't make it so. I never cease to be amazed at some folks claims to read others' hearts and minds. It may be allowable on this forum, as the targets are not specifically members of the forum, but it's still ....
How did that go?
Oh, yes:

THANKS FOR YOUR KIND WORDS.
True.
However, I’ve never observed facts to have much influence on much of any of the members of the various RC rabid cliques hereon.
