In the above verse they worshipped baby Jesus not Mary. Just to clarify, they prostrated (prosekynesan) before him, they didn't give him the divine worship/service (latreuo) rendered God alone. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 74960594 Sweden01/10/2018 06:48 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Catholics don't worship Mary, they have a tremendous amount of admiration and RESPECT for her in being the mother of Jesus. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 36960387 What about statues? Statues are a visual aid only , they are NOT worshiped ,they only bring to mind a particular saint when one is asking the saint to intercede in our behalf with God. As I see it the saints have graduated and we who are alive are students only. No, that's the rationale used at the second Council of Nicea 787 AD to rationalize and legalize idol worship (icon "veneration"). You don't venerate, go on pilgrimage and attribute miracles to mere visual aids. |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 71644467 United States01/10/2018 06:48 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Because Jesus first miracle was for Mary, "woman, I will never refuse you" So you want a miracle you go through Mary why can’t you just go to the source. The Bible is clear in that it says not to worship or idolize anything. Can anyone show me where it says you must pray to anyone other then God if you want a miracle or just want to get your mental mail delivered? |

Quoting: countryleftypenn Revelation 17:4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: Are these the colors in the Catholic church? Mother of the earth's harlots and abominations... So what does that make you seeing as it's your mother church? |

Godhead means godhood, as in ~divine quality, not some kind of triune, pagan God-office. The suffix -head (or -hede) is just the archaic, Middle English form of -hood. Maybe it's you that should study the word rather. So, why do you have three Gods and not the one between Whom and mankind Jesus mediates? Why do you instead worship the trinity abomination your mother church invented and commanded you to worship? |

I became widowed and moved out rural to pray as a hermit, day and night. I ordered every book of prayer and dropped the Catholic Church because of this. I began to see all the “indulgences” and graces offered if I prayed such and such all sins would be forgiven. I also noticed all prayers were to Mary and very few to Christ. They seemed to offer every route to forgive sins and prayer except Christ and his blood alone. I officially quit the Catholic Church just by reading one book of prayers.. |

User ID: 76078200 Canada01/10/2018 07:04 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It is not that we worship Mary. We worship God, Mary, Jesus, all the angels and saints. It is just that if you compare the catholic church to the born again Christian church, the latter, does not give too much attention on Mary, the angels and saints. They are more focused on the bible teachings. |

User ID: 72189296 United States01/10/2018 07:09 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Why do people worship anyone other than the Creator is because many of us believe that we have no direct connection to the Creator, so people look to an intermediary. Mary is certainly someone that even I aspire to be like. A person who worshiped and obeyed the Creator completely. But I have seen - and had done myself in the past - worship the wrong person. One only needs to learn and feel whole-hearted in their prayer to connect to the Creator. |
