I think it is revealing - intentional or not - it's admitting that Mariolatry is a big part of Roman Catholicism.
Catholics do not worship Mary. Go back and read it again. Hint: Mary leads everyone to her Son, Jesus, as she's the mother of God. Does this disturb you?

Why did that man on tv pray to her, then?

You've heard that saying..."What you do speaks so loud I can't hear what you say."? You were the one who claimed "Protestants" couldn't help but convert to Roman Catholicism if they would "honor" Mary as RCs do, didn't you? Let me ask you this, if you take out the "honor" of Mary within Roman Catholicism, would it still BE Christian?

No person here has truthfully dishonored Mary. Roman Catholics get their knickers in a knot over the subject because people don't "honor" Mary in the same way as they do. That is hardly dishonoring her! If you cannot show where any of the Apostles taught or instructed believers in what they are to believe about the mother of Jesus, then all you really have is what fallible humans developed over time. It is for that reason alone that we SHOULD judge the doctrines and dogmas BY scripture to see if they are true.

Admit it, some RCs are "disturbed" because non-RC Christians don't believe as they do about Mary. It isn't really about honoring or dishonoring her, but Roman Catholics' insistence that "real" Christians have to be Roman Catholic.

...”Catholics do not worship Mary”....

Oh Yes they do, the evidence shows otherwise....However Catholics “are taught” to “say” they do not worship Mary...and it’s been the same lingo responses since they were first called on the mat for it.

As with so much that the catholic church twists to suite their dogma’s and traditions...they change the obvious to something else and often the language as well....

“Venerating” gives them the “excuse” they seek for breaking God’s word.

Who existed first, Mary or God?

....”Mary leads everyone to her Son”.....

In Christianity she doesn’t...that is the work of God who leads people to His son, and this by His Spirit.

In Catholicism teachings she’s been created to do so because without catholics mary their whole house of cards would fall.

Even though Roman Catholicism claims to be Christian yet it violates the essentials of the Christian faith. It goes beyond what is written in God’s word (1 Cor. 4:6). It denies the sole and true sovereignty of the living God by promoting prayer to and the worship of Mary.

Yes.

Is it designed to do so?


John 12:32
And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. (Although 'Woman' has to doing the LEADING first...)


John 6:44
No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. (After 'Woman' has done the LEADING first...)
