I’ve given up on this issue. All anyone would have to do is ask a Catholic if they worship Mary if they wanted to find out if Catholics worship Mary. But that’s never enough somehow, as if Catholics would have some reason to lie about it or something. Why would a Christian disbelieve another Christian on this? It’s not that hard. So what does it say about the folks who don’t take Catholics word for it?

I know what you're saying. The antic assumption is either that one could adore someone inadvertently ("Oops, sorry, I accidentally adored a fellow on the street yesterday" -- which is impossible) or that one would adore and then lie about it (which makes no sense.)

I assure you, if I adored someone, I would not dither and dissimulate about it. Good God, I would sound the bagpipes, thump the bodhran and lead the parade! Come, fellow creatures! Let us all worship the One God, the Most Blessed Trinity!

To l large extent, I write for the lurkers. A fellow FReeper told my husband that she had been received into the Catholic Church last year (Easter 2015) partly under my small influence. I knew nothing about at at the time, but it gave me reason to be rather wonderingly happy heartwise, all the same.

Mormons would also deny their understanding of Christianity is wrong. However, when compared to the Word it is found to be so.
