No, I do not accept his mother as a “holy person”, where in the Bible does it say we should all worship Mary?

Jesus is my savior. Not Mary. Nowhere in the Bible does it confer divinity on Mary or anyone but Jesus, the Father (God) and the Holy Ghost.

The Catholic Church can tell you to worship St. Pedro Patron Saint of Olive Garden for all I care. But the protestant bashing is getting ridiculous. Simply because we do not accept all the manmade worldly add-on’s and the unbiblical fluff does not make us Satan. I do not follow earthly men who declare themselves infallable and merchants of God.

It is all about the message and not the messenger.

The Bible does not ask Catholics or Christians to “worship” Mary, but to esteem her as the Mother Jesus Christ, true God and true man.

I’m sorry for you that such esteem is lacking — or at least that’s the way it seems to me.

Catholics worship only God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Where are you getting ideas about worshipping Mary?

Maybe a pamphlet? Maybe some preacher who hates Catholics?

Mary’s existence was prophesied ~ as in ‘Virgin with Child’ ~ that sets her apart as far as just about anyone is concerned.
