Another Religion's Faith.
One thing I have noticed is that SOME groups have a tendancy to tell other groups what they 'actually' believe. The ones that are claiming that Roman Catholics are engaging in 'Idolatry' because they are 'worshipping Mary' seem very intent on telling Roman Catholics what they believe... even though that is not what the Roman Catholics say they believe.
These are the same people who tell the Jews all about the Jewish concept of the Messiah too.
n edit.. one more comment
If I am going to figure out what a religion believes, I will ask the people who practice that religion, not a believer of another religion who is trying to 'discredit' the first religion, in an effort to 'prove' their religious beliefs correct.

Re: No criticism allowed, huh?
Personally, I think all of christianity is idoltary myself.. but it isn't in the mind of the beleivers. I accept that Christians do not believe it is.
I happen to think it is. If the Roman Catholics say that they are not worshipping Mary as god, then, they are not worshpping mary as god.

Re: No mere human being in heaven or on earth can intercede for millions
THe arguement from silence?
ONe thing I will say is that the Sola Scriptura is a protestant inovation, and the Catholic Church does have tradition. In that, it seems to have more in common with Judiasm.
