Probably why the Anti-christ will appear from their particular brand of
faith (Roman Catholic).
We're to worship in the spirit with our thoughts directed towards the Lord
and not towards a gilded ceramic or metal icon glued to a base so it won't
fall over. And don't get me started about the Queen of Heaven ignorance with
Jesus's mother Mary. We are instructed in the Holy Bible to pray to the Lord
Jesus only and never towards any other entity and that includes Mary, the
mother of Jesus.
Mary was a woman who was also a sinner and needed salvation through Jesus
Christ just like the rest of us. She may not have been a blatant sinner like
a glutton or prostitute, but she had sinned in her life and needed
redemption by the shed blood of Jesus. You never pray to someone who needs
the redemption that Jesus provides by dying on the cross for our sins
(including Mary's sins).
