Judith,
I didnt see any slander of the RCC on here. The argument revolves around the theology of the RCC. One of the major arguments is the importance of Mary, in relation to scripture and her elevation and ability to intercede to the Lord on a sinners behalf. Catholics seem to want it both ways, they claim that they dont “worship” Mary, but why then are their statues of her outside of RC Churches, why the shrines to her in the yards of many RC homes, and why the prayers directed to her in the rosary?
Why are there statues of her?
Are there statues of just her? No. Are there statues of Christ and other saints? Yes.
The statues are there for the same reason why any statue is built, to honour and commemorate her.
Now, again, do you believe it is right and proper to have statues of Christ?
Check post 397; alternatively, read the thread.
Regarding the Rosary, do you know what it is?
