To use Paul's expression about seeing through a glass darkly: Forget what you think you know about the Catholic faith, because what you said is so twisted not even a Catholic would recognize that you are referencing the Catholic faith.But I fail to see how being a member of a prayer group has to do with whether or not you pray to Mary and Catholics DO pray to her and worship statues and tell the priests your sins as if they truly have any power whatsoever to forgive them. Nothing against Catholics as people, but as a religion all I see is blasphemy.
Thank you. This cannot be said (or repeated) enough. Perhaps one day it just might sink in.Catholics don't worship Mary or pray to statues or icons..

You think so little of your fellow Christians
Didn't I specifically just say that I don't have a problem with Catholics themselves and that it's only the religion that I have an issue with?
You obviously don't know anything about it. Who taught you?
You didn't even bother to think about what I wrote, did you? If you REALLY believe what you wrote about Catholics, you SHOULD have a problem with me, because your version of the Catholic faith is nonsense. I am telling you flat out that you know little--perhaps nothing--about the Catholic faith. But you are willing to apply your nonsense to me. It is insulting, and you assuring me that you don't have a problem with me makes it doubly insulting.Didn't I specifically just say that I don't have a problem with Catholics themselves and that it's only the religion that I have an issue with?
Practicing Catholics? Catholics who took adult education classes, or just ones who were confirmed at ages 12 or 13 and never progressed any further?The fact that I personally knew some Catholics possibly?

This is pure ignorance. Do you have pictures of your family that you look at? If so, by your own definition you have made idols of your family.Well, can you imagine how insulting it is to God? Catholics break the commandments of having no other Gods except Him and idolizing statues.

Thank you, I needed this! I was beginning to feel a tad annoyed. Adorable, hmm? I'll remember that.Fellow Catholics, isn’t this potter head person adorable?

Nor do Catholics worship statues, so it is precisely the same. A situation of pointing one finger at Catholics and having the other three pointing straight back at you. I suggest we just drop it. Catholics do not worship statues. Period. They worship God. Period.Not the same at all because I don't worship them.

Shrug. That is incorrect. I am surrounded by non-Catholic family and friends and not one of them thinks that Catholics worship anyone/anything but God. However, I agree that some people would rather throw mud than be enlightened by truth, but I tend to think they are in the minority.Fine,.. but not one non-Catholic is going to agree with you you can bet.
