@Matthew56193629@renewingprotest Idols aren't limited to statues my friend. You're knowledgeable about the letter of the law, but the spirit of the law.....anyway, are paintings, printed images, or even digital images of Mary idolatry? Even if we don't think Mary is God or worship her as equal to God?
@Matthew56193629@renewingprotest Would it still be an idol if it was a painting of Mary or an AI generated image instead of a physical statue? Is that acceptable to you?
@Matthew56193629@renewingprotest Oh, there were statues. But nobody worshiped at them or even instructed to. I'm actually fascinated how these parishes are getting away with not worshipping before these statues when clearly the Vatican is ordering them to do so...right?
@Matthew56193629@renewingprotest Hold on, I've been to several (7 or 8) catholic parishes in the past year. No Mary worshipping at all. You're telling me that these parishes are supposed to be taking their Mary worshipping marching order from the Vatican and they're not?! What are the odds?!
@Matthew56193629@renewingprotest Yes. Oh wait, by RCC, are you excluding all neighborhood parishes? Just "mine"? Is "mine" the only one not Mary worshipping?!
@Matthew56193629@renewingprotest I was just at a catholic mass the other day. No mary worshipping. In fact, no mention of Mary at all. So you're entirely ignorant on the subject or a bigot....or both.
