Do Catholics Worship the Virgin Mary?

The Virgin Mary is a central figure in the opening chapters of both Matthew's and Luke’s gospel, and quite early in Christian history devotion to Mary became common in both the Eastern and the Western Christian traditions. However, many Protestant denominations today see Roman Catholic devotion to Mary as nothing short of idolatrous. In this Answers video, we look at the role of Mary in Roman Catholicism and answer the crucial question as to whether Mary is worshiped in the largest Christian denomination.

Blessed Mother, please pray for us and ask your Son to have mercy on those who deny our Lord.

I say to protestant’s read Genesis33:1-11. Then come back to me. It’s ironic that protestant’s accuse us Catholic’s of worshipping Mary, when we don’t. It’s insincere which is anti Christ, to accuse us when they haven’t bothered to find out the beautiful truth of loving Mary OUR SPIRITUAL MUM, and having a devotion to Mary. St. Louis de Montfort said rightly there’s NO salvation without devotion to Mary! Also it’s protestant’s ironically who are guilty of self idolatry because they reject on their own fallible authority the infallible Magisterium of the holy Catholic Church. Only God can found a Church NOT sinful men ie protestant Cults NOT churches! How much protestant’s lose out on simply because they are protestant-what a victory for Satan to have deceived 10’s of millions of protestant’s down the last 500 year’s-how truly tragic. You have the apparitions of Mary, which are so incredible beautiful. Eucharistic Miracles. How the holy angel’s have helped man kind. The great Saint’s of the holy Catholic Church. One of the best book’s I’ve ever read is by Bob and Penny Lord called Visionary’s, Mystics and Stigmatists. You get such great Saint’s as St Pio, St John Vianney aka the Cure’ of Ars, St Michael Archangel-his appearances, the children of Fatima, St Juan Diego, etc. I could go on.
I beg protestant’s to leave their man made protestant Cult and come home to your true home the holy Catholic Church which is Jesus Christ on earth! God bless. Watch the warning or illumination of conscience by Christine Watkins! Then The Papacy can not be destroyed. Then Don’t call protestant’s Christian. Praise Jesus and Mary always!!!

Good info here. Very controversial subject that can be biased. Thanks again for the content!

[paulhudson]

The hate and ignorance of Protestants is never ending, let them stew in their misguided belief.
I’ll continue to ask the Most Holy Mother of God to pray for us ALL to the Lord Our God! 🙏🌺☦️🌺🙏

[RdRder]

I appreciate these presentations. Clear, well done. We can ALL learn together and appreciate the richness in each others' faith practices. YAY for positive spiritual interactions.

[reng.]

I will not deny, or try to justify my love and devotion to the Blessed Mother of God! Our Savior could not have entered into the life of humanity had not been born through a woman. She is chosen to lead us to her son. Jesus loved his mother. And she raised him honoring God.

[suemedwin]

How can anyone accuse us Catholics of worshipping Mary, Mary is an example for us to follow, there is a difference between worship and venerate. As all Christians together let us worship God in the Holy Trinity and ask that by His Healing Grace we are healed and all in the world be healed of the pandamic. Lord Jesus Christ come and bless your world

[loradurling]

No Catholics do not worship Mary. We worship God. We honor and respect our Blessed mother. Every time you ask this question you won’t get the same answer. We do not worship Mary.

[rital]

Let me put it this way: how can you not love, respect, listen and venerate the Mother of your Savior? After all, She was Chosen to give birth to the Son of God! I love Mother Mary, believe it or not, when you ask, She listen to you! Try it!

[johnymathew]

TRUE DEVOTION TO BLESSED MARY LEADS TO JESUS....
IF THE LOVE FOR CHRIST DOESN'T INCREASES, IT IS A FAKE DEVOTION

[nicoleatkinson]

What about Jesus???
The only way to the Father is through our lord and Savior Jesus Christ/Yeshua

[fdoy]

I love Mary and everytime I see a statue of her, I think wow. She is Jesus's mother. I think when I see pictures of my kids I feel that extra love in my heart too.

[BlackKippahActivity]

I worship Jesus Christ alone. He died for my sins. Through him only are all things possible. To me Mary was a human who was chosen by God to give birth to the Lord. That is all. Jesus is the one who bared his life on the cross for us all. It is him alone who deserves our worship ✝️

[uchennaagunenye]

I am the way, the truth and life.no one comes to my Father except troughmeThis is very simple to understand.My catholic brothers and sisters no one living or dead can intercede for you except Jesus Christ.

[lola]

Godbelss u all! Thank god for creating lord Jesus who died for our sins!✝️
