The Venezuelan Episcopal Conference (CEV) has publicly invoked the intercession of the Virgin Mary to free the nation “from the claws of communism,” in a clear reference to the regime of President Nicolás Maduro.
“Blessed Virgin, Mother of Coromoto, heavenly Patron of Venezuela, free our country from the claws of communism and socialism,” the CEV posted on Twitter this Sunday, complete with an image of Santa Maria and a Venezuelan flag.

You have your false beliefs, as the moslems have their own false beliefs.
That doesn't impress God.
WOW! Didn't know Paul was writing false beliefs.
21But now apart from the Law the righteousness of God has been manifested, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, 22even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all those who believe; for there is no distinction;
23for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus;
Romans 3:21-24 NASB
But do you kneel in your “church”?
If so, to whom do you kneel?
This thread still going??
You got the NUMBER again??
I bet I know to whom THESE guys are!!
And I’ll bet you’re not a Catholic.
Yes! Come on and join the fun.
I understand the Greek of Romams 3:23.....all means all.
Only to God as indicated in the NT.
But God is not in your “church”.
They only prayed to God in the OT as well. Roman Catholics seem to ignore that one. Amongst others.
You keep thinking what you want. However, all means all even in the DR version of Romans 3:23. Deny it all you want.
“all means all even”
Huh?
Reverence is a form of respect.
The “vast” difference is between the honor given to saints and angels, and the adoration given to God.
However I do encourage you -— all of us -— to keep thinking about the distinctions and gradations between these various forms of respect. The lack of distinction and gradation is what causes people to conflate veneration with idolatry.
I really think part of the problem here is that we live in a society almost totally lacking in an “honor tradition” -— except, as I noted, in the military.
I believe it was C.S. Lewis in "Screwtape Proposes a Toast" who attributed to Satan the affirmation that, "I'm as good as anyone!" On the other hand, St. Paul wrote, "... in humility, consider others as better than yourselves."
One more time.....You keep thinking what you want. However, all means all even in the DR version of Romans 3:23. Deny it all you want.
