"It’s interesting that scripture is totally silent on Mary or her life after Pentecost yet the Catholics have elevated her to goddess status. "

So what? Why does it bother you? You aren't a Catholic.

Not a bother. It's interesting to many non-Catholic Christians who are rightfully posting here the same as you are.

For one specific, what CynicalBear posted pinpoints one key major difference (of many) between what Christians believe definitely (The Word of God) and the customs and rituals and peculiar practices of some of the many branches and types of Catholicism, including those who exalt Mary much much higher than what God has said or done.

It may bother CB, as it does me, because when we see folks practicing idolatry, we're concerned for their souls.

That's not a bad thing...

>>So what? Why does it bother you? You aren't a Catholic.p Love is not allowing others to follow the wrong path and scripture tells us to correct.

James 5:20 let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.

The idolatry of Catholicism and Mary worship is sin.
