Mismatch of logic — a grave is not an image of someone’s parents.

Really? There are often graves with either statuary or photographic images of the decedent present. Your (mis)use of the word logic betrays your lack of formal training in that field. HossB86 wrote:

An image of Mary is just that—an image that is being worshipped.

So you say. No proof, just a baldfaced claim. One without merit, by the way. HossB86 wrote:

I’m not worshipping my parents image... There is none!!!

No doubt that sentence made sense to you. Sadly not so much to anyone else. HossB86 wrote:

Indeed no! On the other hand you might try taking some basic educational courses in English and in Logic. Most community colleges have remedial courses at very low cost. Then, after you are able to use the language we ought to have in common in a rational way, let's try this discussion again. Until then:

My soul magnifies the Lord,
And my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.
For He has regarded the low estate of His handmaiden,
For behold, henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
For He who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is His name. 
And His mercy is on those who fear Him from generation to generation.
He has shown strength with His arm:
He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
He has put down the mighty from their thrones,
and exalted those of low degree.
He has filled the hungry with good things;
and the rich He has sent empty away.
He has helped His servant Israel, in remembrance of His mercy;
As He spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to His posterity forever.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen



Magníficat ánima mea Dóminum,
et exsultávit spíritus meus
in Deo salvatóre meo,
quia respéxit humilitátem
ancíllæ suæ.

Ecce enim ex hoc beátam
me dicent omnes generatiónes,
quia fecit mihi magna,
qui potens est,
et sanctum nomen eius,
et misericórdia eius in progénies
et progénies timéntibus eum.
Fecit poténtiam in bráchio suo,
dispérsit supérbos mente cordis sui;
depósuit poténtes de sede
et exaltávit húmiles.
Esuriéntes implévit bonis
et dívites dimísit inánes.
Suscépit Ísrael púerum suum,
recordátus misericórdiæ,
sicut locútus est ad patres nostros,
Ábraham et sémini eius in sæcula.

Glória Patri et Fílio
et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio,
et nunc et semper,
et in sæcula sæculórum.

Amen.

a grave is not an image of someone’s parents. An image of Mary is just that—an image that is being worshipped. I’m not worshipping my parents image... There is none!!!

AMEN!

And no one prays to their deceased parents or implores them to heal them and redeem them and intercede for them with God.

Scripture gives that office to the Triune God alone.

That's basic Christianity 101 and Rome fails the test.

Let's start with the basics here Dean - your supercilious and insulting games began with:

When I responded in kind, your poor widdle feelings got hurt and you tried, again, to pretend superiority. Now you post about me without even bothering to ping me, a basic courtesy generally on the net and always on this site. You reveal your puerile nature with nearly every post. And then you whine. Very sad waste of potential.
