Don’t remember if I pinged you/ don’t know if you saw it, I think it bears repeating.

I recently attended a funeral at a Roman Catholic house of worship. During the singing of the Ava Maria they had a small processional that made their way towards a life-sized statue of Mary, where they placed flowers at the feet of the idol.

Idolatry is as Idolatry does.

They do that at weddings as well, dedicating the bride to Mary ...

According to the Catholic apologists on Free Republic, this is not really idol "worship" because Mary is not really God.

At least not yet.

Perhaps the presents and flowers prevent the toes from being kissed off.

Interesting that during this time of year where we celebrate Christ's birth...the fact the discussions posted by you,Gamecock, are NOT about Him, rather Mary

hmmm..... in the meanwhile in Christ's Church, the One Holy Apostolic Catholic Church, we'll celebrate Christ's birth

Your group's obsessive focus away from Christ can keep going on...
