I do not mean that this comment is addressed to all Catholics (who are more naive / ignorant).
Catholics have the answer to most in the bloodshed of man (especially during the Middle Ages). Nothing but hypocrites that Jesus despised. I would be ashamed to be Catholic. Catholics used to kill anyone who was not going to "reform" in their eyes. Before any Catholic bites my head, do your research on Catholic history (especially the Inquisition). Because the Catholic leaders were lying to the church, all who had burned a bible. This is because the Bible reveals his false teachings.
What does the Bible say? "God is love, love your neighbor as yourself", "love your enemy "…….. then think of the Catholic Inquisition - up to 60 million Native Americans were killed during the Spanish Inquisition alone! And yet, believe it is better for good.
And yes, Catholics (though they do not know) are giving undue attention to the mother marriage. Praying, bowing in front of a shrine is idolatry no matter what angle you look! King Hezekiah did excuse the Israelites and say it was OK to keep the image of Moses, the serpent, just as they pray with him, not to eliminate all forms of idols of Israel.

That's why we have the Lutheran Church - also known as - the reform of the Catholic Church.

Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
Romans 1:25

Mary is a creature.

You are asking too many questions so we can properly address them. I will cover the first two.
+ + Catholic Beliefs
A summary of key Catholic beliefs is contained in the Nicene Creed (year 325):
We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, creator of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible.
We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, being one with the Father. Through him all things were made. For us and our salvation came down from heaven: by the power of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary and became man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, suffered, died and was buried. On the third day rose again in fulfillment of the Scriptures: He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified. He has spoken through the prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. Look for the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.
For a complete description of what Catholics believe, see the Catechism of the Catholic Church: http://www.usccb.org/catechism/text/inde …
And the other Mary + + 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.
For more information, see the Catechism of the Catholic Church, section 946 et seq: http://www.usccb.org/catechism/text/pt1s …
+ With love in Christ.

You can not have multiple divorces and married in a Catholic Church. Besides, anything is possible.
Seriously.
You can marry a Catholic in a Catholic ceremony if you are single and at least one of the people getting married is a baptized Catholic and confirmed.

Catholics worship God as expressed in the Trinity (Father, Son and Holy Spirit).
Cussing and drinking too much is inappropriate behavior for anyone, including Catholics.
Catholics can not marry a Catholic, and receive the sacrament of marriage, provided that children are taught the Catholic faith. In addition, the ceremony was not held as part of a mass.
I do not think "blackballed" is a canonical term. However, if you mean former releases, which is not true. Catholics to get divorced. However, the Church does not recognize divorce, according to Jesus own words. Moreover, if a divorced Catholic to marry again, the second marriage is not recognized, and a Catholic marriage must not receive Holy Communion.

I can not believe people think that. Catholics do not worship Mary. Only your worship. Who love Jesus. Can not even get along among themselves Christians?
Talk to a real-life Catholic for some time.
for the chaplain: If Mary is divine worship. Reverence is a profound respect or veneration.

The Pope and the Church is God never makes a Misako, but by writing them wrong
Matthew 23:9 And call no man your father on earth: for one is your Father who is in heaven.
I Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit speaks expressly, that in recent times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils;
I Timothy 4:2 is speaking in hypocrisy, having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
I Timothy 4:3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God created to be received with gratitude those who believe and know the truth.

praying to a statue, or imply that Mary is not worship the statue or primary.
in a Chinese culture, some people offer joss sticks and fruits to the tomb of a late sign of respect and some are quick to say they are delaying worship the dead as dead.
seriously do not understand why so many of them to ask stupid questions without showing respect for the research on the net first. however, are the same person who asks why not show respect
