>>Christ is the Body of the Church. No stretch at all. Mary is the Mother of God. Many Protestants call that a stretch too - thereby denying Christ’s divinity even if unintentionally.<<
You do try Vlad. The Deity of Jesus Christ is explained well enough here:
Colossians 2:9-10 NABRE
For in him dwells the whole fullness of the deity bodily, and you share in this fullness in him, who is the head of every principality and power.(NABRE)
Calling praying to Mary and departed saints and calling it adoration instead of worship is some stretch as well. A stretch which some could conclude is establishing a pantheon.
“Calling praying to Mary and departed saints and calling it adoration instead of worship is some stretch as well.”
Veneration, not adoration. If you’re going to attack the Catholic faith don’t you think you should attack the actual Catholic faith rather than get it wrong?
“A stretch which some could conclude is establishing a pantheon.”
Morons can conclude anything when they have no idea what they’re talking about.
