you have an idol of mary

Objection. Facts not in evidence. An idol is an image or representation of a god used as an object of worship. Unless you can determine that is actually the case then the rest does not follow. Therefore there is no idolatry. No pagan goddess worship.

Nothing but bearing false witness.

do I really have to put the pictures of the idols of mary found in catholic churches or parishioners bowing down to her?

As you well know...there's lot's more. But persist in the belief catholics don't worship mary or have idols of her.

Pagans used their idols as representative of the gods they worshipped. Catholics use idols as representative of who they worship.
