The Truth About the Catholic Church and Mary

Worship- "show devotion to a deity (Word Web"

Proskuneo- Greek for worship of God

Luke 1:48: "From now on all generations will call me (Mary) blessed."

1. The Catholic Church does not believe Mary is God

2. Catholic actions towards Mary cannot be called "worship"

3. The action of Worshiping holds that the subject being worshiped is God

4. Catholics simply offer praise to Mary

5. Praise to Mary is justified in the Gospel of Luke

6. "The Hail Mary" is simply a prayer of praise derived from the Bible

7. Catholics do not worship Mary, yet only praise her

8. Mary is asked, along with others on earth, to "pray for us"

9. The Rosary is simply a prayer rope used for organized prayer and meditation (also, its Mysteries are 90% dedicated to Jesus and only 10% to Mary)

Praise is the same thing as Worship, When you say Hail Mary its honors a Mary is a higher person or God, and when all Glory and honor Praise Belongs To Jesus Christ not Mary, and in the Rosary you Praise and Honor Mary more than you do the Father in Heaven. I'm Sorry but say this in Love the rosary is false Doctrine'"

@robertthegeek We do not praise or honor Mary more than God. God is always the primary focus. The Mass, which is the highest form of honor and praise in the Church, is always directed at God. Romans 13:7 says to honor those who deserve honor; Mary does deserve honor (although obviously not more than God).

I believe in the word of God , the Scriptures! not the word of Man or Canon law! And I will preserve the Trinity Of God! So stop praying to mary and your priceless ROSARY!

@KevinR3i Catholicism is built on the word of God. The pope is not higher than God; he is the Servent of the Servants of God. A servant, not a god.

Make no idols,Exodus 20:4

John 14: 6 "Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me".

@09151981Jerry Catholics have no idols and we whole-heartedly agree with John 14:6.

Isaiah 42:8

There is no such thing as Mother of God???

@SeptemberCatholic18You have no idols? What about your Popes? As if he stands higher than Jesus Christ Himself.

@cweeks7560 The Bible also says "And do not call anyone on earth 'father,' for you have one Father, and he is in heaven." (Matthew 23:9). Do you or anyone you know ever refer to your dad as your father? Scriptures have to be correctly interpreted based on the time period, culture and authorship from which they originated not strictly through 21st century glasses.

@cweeks7560 Catholics do not make statues to bow down to or serve (as also prohibited in the second commandment). It may be hard for some people to realize now in a time when many people have the ability to read but there was a time when that was not so. Stained glass windows, statues and other such things in churches were not made to be worshiped but to remind people of those we love and respect such as Mary and Joseph or the apostles and other saints who dedicated everything to God.
