Who worships Mary? No one I know of. She, like the saints are VENERATED, that is, honored and respected.

That which we call a rose by any other name.

You can redefine the words all y'all want, but God forbids the making of graven images and bowing down to them.

Y'all can deny that it's worship but bowing down is bowing down and can be plainly seen.

Btw, "catholic" simply means UNIVERSAL.

The hypocrisy abounds because *Catholic* is hardly universal when it damns everyone outside of it to hell for not submitting to it.

God bless you and yours always.
Did you like the "Celtic blessing"?

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face.
May the rain fall soft upon your field.
And, until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand.

I just realized that I had LEFT OUT the "May the rain fall soft upon your field" in that post. Ooops. Not that you have any fields...

Where did you EVER come up with the idea that non-Catholics were damned to hell?
YOU were a CATHOLIC yourself up to a little while ago, so you KNOW darn well that it's not true.

Shame on you.
