Wht do Catholics Worship Mary?
Catholics do not worship Mary or other saints.
Santos + +
We share the view of Catholics in the Communion of Saints with many other Christians, including Eastern Orthodox, Anglican, Episcopal and Methodist Churches.
The Communion of Saints is the belief that all saints are intimately related in the Body of Christ, a family. When it dies and goes to heaven, do not let this family.
Everyone in heaven or on their way to heaven are saints, you, me, my deceased grandmother, Mary, the mother of Jesus, Mother Teresa and Pope John Paul II.
As part of this family, you can ask your family and friends living here on earth to pray for you. Or, you can also ask the Blessed Virgin Mary, St. Andrew, or your deceased grandmother living in heaven to pray for you.
Prayer to the saints in heaven is simple communication, not worship.
Ask others to pray for you if your loved ones on Earth or your loved ones in heaven is always optional.

+ + The Blessed Virgin Mary
"Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee" (Luke 1:28)
"Blessed are you among women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb "(Luke 1:42).
In Luke 1:48, Mary prophesied, "From now on all generations will call me blessed."
The Hail Mary prayer simply recites passages from the Bible (the Word of God) and asks Mary to pray for us:
Hail Mary full of grace, the Lord is with you. (These are the words that the angel Gabriel said to Mary, a Bible quote.)
Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. (This is Mary's cousin Elizabeth's greeting, another biblical quotation.)
Santa Maria, (The angel Gabriel said he was full of grace and Elizabeth says he was blessed.)
Mother of God (the Bible says that Mary is the mother of Jesus Christ, the Son of God)
Pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. (A simple request to pray for us.)
Amen.

A question for Christians who take the Bible literally: Do you call Mary "blessed"? If not, why?

When I was Catholic (in the High Middle Ages), not "worship" Mary. We asked him to pray for us. There is a big difference.
Edit: I think he knew. (((Hugs))) to you, my little penguin French!
You understand the system, lol. Publish some questions and get the attention they attack us.
Karl does not understand, but can not block people, sorry. It is possible that he knows that most of its brightest, so it's a little intimidated.
I hope you had a great T-day. The weather during the Macy's parade this year expects big balloons too big. Scooby, Snoopy, et all.
White Christmas and saw, on Tuesdays and Charlie Brown Christmas (sorry) so it's American so do not be mad I said.
29 days anti-Christmas questions for me to go, LOL. Then, peace and tranquility until Easter. (sorry) Spring.
… it is then when the goddess Isis.
We asked them to pray for us. She is like a friend in a high place. NO worship anyone besides Jesus.
Mary is very much in favor of women because she was chosen to be the mother of our Lord according to the flesh; Christians joyfully called his "blessed" with its unique privilege. However, Mary is not the Savior, is that neither the Ombudsman.
The Catholic Church teaches that Mary was conceived without sin, for their suffering that she has contributed to our salvation, ascended to heaven and became our mediator. She is also known as our life and the gate of Heaven. None of this is taught in the Bible. By contrast, the Word of God teaches that Jesus was conceived without sin, He died for our sins, He ascended into heaven and He is the only mediator. He alone is our life and the door to heaven. Therefore, we must look to Jesus Christ.
Mary said: "My soul magnifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior" (Luke 1:46-47). Mary liked the exaltation of the Lord, not yours. That clearly teaches us to look to God for salvation, not for herself or anyone else. God is my Savior, "she confesses.
We should call the name of Jesus, not in the name of Mary, because the apostle Peter declares: "Nor is there salvation in any other, because no other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved" (Acts 4:12).
Catholics worship Mary because religion Constantino wrote that as early as the 4th century. Foundations of the worship of Mary is oozing with paganism.
The Church teaches to worship God alone and forbidding the worship of the Virgin or anyone else but God. people here to post the other hand must know what they say is a lie. Certainly, it is easy to verify the error with the catechism or the Bible is the written Word, or Sacred Tradition of the Church, written by his Church is the Church itself being attacked by this same question and answer intolerant. I've never met anyone who loved the Blessed Mother and be very surprised if it ever did. I am sure that if I did certainly not be a Catholic.

Do not.
Ray, however, your original question has disappeared, so you never know. And I bet that was good, too. BTW Episcopal worship Mary, but not really ask you to pray for us. We pray to follow suit.
What do you think God is doing when they are praying to Mary? Do they think he is asleep? It's sound like the priests of Baal. When Peter (you know, the guy who is supposed to be the first Pope) said:
6 humble therefore you under the mighty hand of God, who can exalt in due course:
7 Casting all your care upon him, because for careth yourself.
(1 Peter 5)
You think Pedro was lying?
Is there anything God can not hear? Is there something he does not see? Is there anything that God does not know? Where is God while praying to Mary? In Catechism?
Why is taught in Roman Catholic doctrine not to trust in God, but instead of relying on Maria, if they are "officers of the Christian Church?"
Is there anywhere where the Bible is taught to pray to any saint other than God?
I think not!
What a clear teaching of demonic!
