So, not worshiping Mary is ignorance? I gladly plead ignorance rather than idol worship. Please see comments by former nun, Mary Ann Collins: MARY WORSHIP? A Study of Catholic Practice and Doctrine

According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church reading at paragraph 411: "Mary benefited first of all and uniquely from Christ’s victory over sin: she was preserved from all stain of original sin and by a special grace of God committed no sin of any kind during her whole earthly life. The problem is, that is not Biblical! (Here is the link to the Catechism. Please feel free to search for paragraph 411 for yourself. Catechism of the Catholic Church )

Romans 3:23 says, "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God."

Revelation 15:4 says, "Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? For thou only art holy."

Romans 3:10 says, "There is none righteous, no, not one."

In Luke 1:47, Mary says, "And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior." IF she is sinless, why does she need a Saviour?

Luke 1

The Birth of John the Baptist Foretold

5 [c]In the days of Herod, king of Judea, there was a priest named ZECHARIAH ,[d] of the division of Abi′jah; and he had a wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was ELIZABETH. 6 And THEY were BOTH RIGHTEOUS BEFORE GOD, WALKING in ALL THE COMMANDMENTS and ORDINANCES of the Lord BLAMELESS.

Who said Mary was worshipped. She isn’t. Venerated and we ask her to pray for us, but that’s it.

Worshipped are God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.

Got that?
