What does that have to do with the Bible?It just did. Women aren't forced to stay home with the kids and work in the kitchens now either are they? Times have changed. It's a fact.

They don't just pray to the so-called Holy Virgin but to an enormous number of saints. In Ireland, you can get little cards with your favorite saint's image and selected prayers to be said to them. I think it's called a Novena. It seems like they think God is too busy and a better way to win his ear is through one of these saints.Then why do they pray to her? (I'm not bashing their religion btw, I think it's a legit question.)

The Catholic Church has adapted their propaganda surrounding the so-called Holy Trinity as they have invented The Holy Family.
They needed to produce a story that the illiterate peasants could identify with.
The very first commandment blows the Holy Trinity out of the water - There is only one God.

Do they remember more Biblical stories, both Old and New Testaments? What verses were you thinking they should remember?Yet the Catholics I ran into couldn't remember single verses in the bible, it was embarrassing and I could never understand it
My heart is not hardened. I asked, you tried to answer to YOUR beliefs and it did nothing to answer what I asked. Like I said before....walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it's a damn duck! Hold your rosary beads. Confess to some guy as if he is Jesus himself when he isn't. Repent and do 24 Hail Mary's as you walk down the isle of the church surrounded with marble statues of Mary. And don't forget to bow and kiss the feet of your pope.Shrug. If you cannot accept what actual Catholics tell you about honoring Mary as an example of an every day human being doing the will of God whom we worship, no reason for me to go on. It would merely serve to further harden your heart. Wishing you a good evening.

I don't get it. I never will because I will never be catholic. But if its your thang...ok. I know I have insulted you and part of me knew the words I chose to use to respond to you was not nice of me.I like you, Meri. Always have. So I apologize that I offended you. We will just have to agree to disagree on this, and stick to our own paths.
I could describe a beautiful yellow-orange flower and someone could insist that I am describing a lily because it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, so it's a duck. Nothing I can say will convince that person I am describing a pumpkin blossom. In both situations, I am obviously unable to adequately explain the differences--which are many.Like I said before....walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it's a damn duck!
Of course he is not Jesus and every Catholic knows this.Confess to some guy as if he is Jesus himself when he isn't.
Don't forget that the stained glass windows with sheaves of wheat and clusters of grapes. I face them as I pray. Clearly I am idolizing stained glass windows, or perhaps my idolatry is given to wheat and grapes. Has to be one or the other, doesn't it? Can't be art any more than statues can be just art.Repent and do 24 Hail Mary's as you walk down the isle of the church surrounded with marble statues of Mary.
Now you are being ridiculous.Don't forget that the stained glass windows with sheaves of wheat and clusters of grapes. I face them as I pray. Clearly I am idolizing stained glass windows, or perhaps my idolatry is given to wheat and grapes. Has to be one or the other, doesn't it? Can't be art any more than statues can be just art.
Yet...you just did try to explain and yes, it was inadequent..and sarcastic since you CAN'T explain. Which is fine. As I said...continue on. I'll watch.I could describe a beautiful yellow-orange flower and someone could insist that I am describing a lily because it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, so it's a duck. Nothing I can say will convince that person I am describing a pumpkin blossom. In both situations, I am obviously unable to adequately explain the differences--which are many.
Do you confess to the windows? Do those windows tell you to do 10 Hail Grapes? No? Why not? Yet, you do those things for Mary and a priest, dontcha?Don't forget that the stained glass windows with sheaves of wheat and clusters of grapes. I face them as I pray. Clearly I am idolizing stained glass windows, or perhaps my idolatry is given to wheat and grapes. Has to be one or the other, doesn't it? Can't be art any more than statues can be just art.
Of course you will never be catholic you where not baptized as a babyMy heart is not hardened. I asked, you tried to answer to YOUR beliefs and it did nothing to answer what I asked.

I was baptized. Period. So..according to catholics, one HAS to be baptized by the catholic church? Sorry, but...lol.Of course you will never be catholic you where not baptized as a baby
Nope. Not catholic. Not baptist. Not pentecostal. Not any "name brand". I don't recall Jesus naming his little club. He just did His thang. Which is what I do.
You can explain til the sun turns green and I will STILL see mary mary mary everywhere in a catholic setting and by catholics. Just like the Hebrews only saw the gold and the calf and didn't "get it" why Moses was so pissed off. So you go ahead and ride that golden bull all you like while muttering to Mary. I'll pass.
Your opinion is based upon ignorance.I never said I "knew" catholics, much less 1 billion of them. Put up or shut up. Show where I said that.
I said IN MY OPINION and I explained HOW and WHY I have that impression. Nothing you can say will change my mind, so.....keep riding that bull, fucktard.
