I appreciate and respect the tone of your post.
My main reply is re: Bible Worship among some Protestants is every bit as bad as Mary Worship among some Catholics
Really? Can you cite examples of protestants praying to the Bible? Can you cite examples of protestants worshipping the Bible, with phrases like "hail Bible"?
Believing God's word to be inerrant is to worship its creator.
In America particularly, there are a lot of faithful catholics. There have been documented instances where catholics have been filled with the Spirit. I prefer for us to focus on what we have in common (maybe 98%?). It concerns me that most of the Catholic posts by certain posters concern the other 2%. It reminds me of Philippians 1:15.

You do display Bible Worship if you do not believe that the Bible is a work of man, and not a work of God.
The Bible is not perfect. The Bible is inspired, but not Divine in its own right.
The Bible is a work of man.

Saying that one cannot be saved without a bible *is* bible worship. Saying that by scripture alone you are saved, *is* bible worship.
Who’s doing the saving, God or the bible? The Bible is God’s word, not the other way around.
Oh, and don’t get me started on the fact that they use a different canon. Cause they don’t like books that say, ‘hey, bible worship, not kosher’.
