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.
Christians worship the Trinity. They can’t worship anything else and be Christians, right? So when Christians say Catholics worship Mary, they are saying Catholics aren’t really Christians. Like right here on this thread.
I mean come on, Catholics aren’t Christians? Mouth breathing stuff. Maybe it does the lurkers good. I don’t know.

Something similar happened to a friend of mine; I’ll call him John. John was travelling in a car on a business trip with three co-workers when one of them engaged John in a lengthy conversation about religion. They disagreed on many things, and John questioned himself on why he let himself get roped into such a fruitless conversation. Years later, one of the co-workers who was not part of the conversation told John that he went through the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) and was received into the Church, and that John’s strong defense of the faith was a contributing factor as to why he became a Catholic.
Peace,
