Amen. Sister.

Remember how important our creeds are in life. It is a confirmation of true faith. She stumbled on born of the Virgin Mary. She could not declare it in the personal pronoun for herself. Very important to know about. She declared "There are many gods"instead of born of the Virgin Mary. One of the most positive declarations I ever witnessed for 1 John 4. It was awesome and scary at the same time. Peace in Christ

She stumbled on born of the Virgin Mary.

Did she and Joseph EVER have sexual relations?

There is a priest who sometimes fills in at our parish. He is extremely effeminate. He once gave a sermon on the Real Presence being about us, the Church. That same day, my wife noticed that he was incapable of saying, “Holy Spirit.” We confirmed it time and again during probably a half dozen Masses over the next few years. Obviously, he doesn’t believe the Faith, but we have often speculated that he may be possessed.

I’m going to try to remember to pray for this woman.

She declared "There are many gods"instead of born of the Virgin Mary.

Wrong religion (wrong destination):

Sakra, the ruler of the celestials, with twenty thousand gods, his followers, such as the god Chandra (the Moon), the god Surya (the Sun), the god Samantagandha (the Wind), the god Ratnaprabha, the god Avabhasaprabha, and others; further, the four great rulers of the cardinal points with thirty thousand gods in their train, viz. the great ruler Virudhaka, the great ruler Virupaksha, the great ruler Dhritarashtra, and the great ruler Vaisravana; the god Ishvara and the god Maheshvara, each followed by thirty thousand gods; further, Brahma Sahdmpati and his twelve thousand followers, the Brahmakayika gods, amongst whom Brahma Sikhin and Brahma Gyotishprabha, with the other twelve thousand Brahmakayika gods. -- Saddharmapundarika sutra, Chapter One

Yet one would have a hard time in Bible times explaining kneeling before a statue and praising the entity it represented in the unseen world, and as having Divine powers and glory, and making offerings and beseeching such for Heavenly help, directly accessed by mental prayer.

Moses, put down those rocks! I was only engaging in hyper dulia, not adoring her. Can't you tell the difference?
