Isn’t it interesting how you dance around trying to find a chink. No scriptural proof of Christ or the Apostles sanctioning adoration or elevation of a human to the extent that Catholics do dead saints and Mary. No scriptural evidence of worship that includes the use of statues or any of the accoutrements of the RCC. No scriptural evidence of the Apostles praying to those who have passed from this life.
