Right, that’s why leading Lutheran and Protestant theologians have converted to Catholicism. The dupes are the Bible Christians whose understanding of theology is so shallow that we now have 35,000 sects ranging from the likes of Billy Graham to Jim Jones, the Moonies and David Koresh. So go back to the shallow waters in which you folks swim and stay away from the deep end of the theological pool reserved for the likes of the early Church fathers, and such luminaries like Augustine, Aquinas, Newman, and Benedict XVI and a litany of saints and martyrs after whom college and universities have been named.
I wouldn’t get top excited as Scripture allows for people falling for the easy denomination. Oh yes easy no faith required it’s all about touch, taste, smell, and seeing none of which require faith.
2 Timothy 4:3-4 New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition (NRSVCE)
3 For the time is coming when people will not put up with sound doctrine, but having itching ears, they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own desires, 4 and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander away to myths.
Tell me genius...where in the NT does is specifically say we are to “PRAY” to “MOTHER” Mary?
I’ll wait patiently.....
