A catholic can only have ONE  master: God, the Holy Trinity. The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Catholics do NOT worship Mary or saints. They see them as intermediaries.

An Australian academic who has examined the skeletal remains of a three-foot hominid discovered in an Indonesian cave and nicknamed a "hobbit" disputed Friday a report that they represent a new species of human.
