Catholics put an unhealthy amount of devotion to the Virgin Mary. She was just a man God chose for Jesus. She was not an angel or a saint. Catholics pray to Mary and to emphasize their role too, that's what we believe. Nobody is closer to God than anyone, that Jesus said. God hears all prayers. Praying to Mary, your worship, pray to Mary because of what you arent praying to God. God is the only one who answers our prayers. His prayer, as a family member who died was a Christian. Just because you are in the sky doesn't mean you should pray for them.
Jesus became the mediator between God and man, and not Mary.

We as Catholics are not Catholics, we see a small part of its base of relgion and what we think of you and your religion in this small portion. The same way that (some of you anyway) does not look at the Catholic religion and the basis for its assumption that religion in our small part to see.
I think it is defined as prejudice or ignorance, but everybody does it, so no one group of people or even one person should be held as an example of this, all they do.
P.S. I was raised Catholic and still do not understand why we pray to Mary and Jesus and the saints and not god directley. Even after being raised in the relgion was still confussed about it, (Why do not you ask my great grandmother was in heaven too?) That's why it makes my religion (which is less confussing).

You are correct. Ask Catholics to saints and Mary to pray to God with them …. but not to worship God. People who think otherwise do so only because they listen to hearsay and not take the initiative to look it up before the judge improperly. Even some of the posters above who claim to know … have no idea. If what counts as do Catholics pray to Mary or the saints, then what they are doing when someone in your family dies, and say "Grandma, I love you and hope that is in a better place now. I miss you. ?

FYI Catholicism was a form of Christianity is just one more set and doctoral CHURCH ", then that of any other Christian denomination? And as for the worship of Mary and the Catholic saints But not everyone worship God. Its shortcoming is that no one to advise people in your congregation to read the Bible every day!

Is another way to demonize someone who is different from yourself. I'm so tired of hearing this from people Bautista …
They can not say why they think that. The preacher told them so. That's it.

probably because we have been informed. Catholics worshiped Mary and I do not believe in Jesus, in fact until I met a "real live Catholic" (not common where I come), which was like "What? Wait a minute … "and told me what I really what about Catholicism. for this non-Catholic, let me say that I am of stereotypes.

are ignorant of Catholic beliefs and go outside to hear, instead of knowledge. I think sometimes they are afraid that Catholics are so organized.
