An Eastern Orthodox Christian wrote to complain about, or to see how we Catholics explain the Immaculate Consumption. He said he had asked many Catholics and none could answer. I find that hard to believe. After I answered his long and slightly edgy e-mail, I received his response – “Thanks.” Picture One: Statue of Mary [...]

Do Catholics Worship Mary?

by Steve Ray on October 18, 2011

A friend named Lenard Alt sent this to me — a response he wrote about an anti-Catholic verbal assault: Is Mary being worshiped as a God or equal to Jesus?  Is this Catholic or Protestant teaching?
