Sisi let us stop this. There is no idolatory in catholic. The same way other churches use annointing oil and Chosen us aprons, salvation Ministries use hand bands etc is d same way they use d chaplait. It is just something to help their faith and not that it is powerful on its own
I am a full blown CATHOLIC. If u re not a catholic u will go to hell.
Before u mention me to spew Rubbish check d meaning of catholic.

I'm not surprised at your comment. Yes making images of one mary and bowing to them isn't idolatry but truth and Spirit worship of God!

Can darkness oppose darkness?
Ecumenism brewing!

Not all roman catholics go to pray at d feet of mary, not all roman catholics ask Mary to ask God. My prayer mate in school is a Catholic and he was d one dat entirely changed my take on Catholics. My dear wen we table ur matter dat is d end.
As long as they believe that Jesus is d Lord over their lives, they believe that he died and rose again, and they make dat confession they are Christians. John 3:16
Wat u shud reason is dat wen they knee befor dat sculpture who exactly is in their mind God, in whose name do they pray? Jesus. Who do they expect to answer their prayers? God.
Dat i bow my head to d floor like a Muslim doesnt mean am praying to allah. Wat matters most is where ur heart is

Don't be deceived. The evidence are there to see. Jesus and Mary status are being bowed to, Mary status outside the church were people cry to for help. Aside this, Catholic isn't as bad as we thought.

Its not true. They DONT BOW TO THOSE SCULPTURES, they only kneel and pray AT THE SIDE OF IT. Just like pilgrims go to pray at the tomb of Jesus, and wen they kneel they channel their attention to God and not to the scripture.

I have being in their shoes so I know what am talking. It's better the status isn't there at all and they pray than it's there they pour their heart. The motive might be good but the approach might be bad.

Just like people come before the altar to cry out their heart not because d altar is dat powerful but because it helps their faith go strong wen they feel they are praying on a holy ground d same with Catholics it helps dem feel they are praying at the feet of Jesus or the mother of Jesuss. All these things are just to help ur faith carry ur prayers. The olive oil is very powerless but it helps ur faith wen u use it.

They pour their heart but same time they bow to it that's the problem. Even bowing to an altar is worst off than images. You can have a status of anything you reverence but don't bow to it. Infact don't pour your heart to it because you might be tempted to bow down.

U dnt know d meaning of bow because if bow goes by ur definition all yorubas are going to hell. D same way a yoruba bows/postrates to his elder is d same way he bows/ to God wen he is thanking God. Its about what ur spirit makes dat reverence to. Keep seeing Catholics as idol worshippers that is ur business but i would rather advice dat u mind ur personal business and leave dem alone with their God

It doesn't change the fact that they bow down to images . Don't try to twist prostration for an elder to bowing to images because they mean different things. The Bible was clear on idol worship that the mother church has being practicing for years. It better they hear the truth before its too late.

I'll talk to Mother Mary to whisper your name in the ears of her son.

So that he will grant you wisdom to love and to cherish the things you do not understand and most especially, to reveal to you where the truth really lies.
