Watching some local Catholic channels' kids program earlier today, it had some cartoony angels reciting the Rosary and some other things I wasn't familar with. I got to thinking, how is directing prayer to Mary not violating the 1st Commandment? Makes sense if you're a cult, but not the largest Christian denomination in the world, didn't anyone notice?
First, I am not Catholic.
But I do know that Catholics believe that Jesus is God's son and he was sacrificed on the cross to save us from our sins. That is enough to call the Catholic religion a "Christian" religion.
From what I understand, Catholics don't pray TO Mary, they pray through her. They ask Mary to pray for them. Protestants pray to Jesus for that purpose............to ask Jesus to go to God on their behalf.
