Worshipping Mary and Idols
Does the Catholic Church worship Mary? Do catholics worship idols? If you ask any Roman Catholic, they will flat out reject that the church worships Mary or idols. What they will say is that they "venerate" Mary and relics. Well, let's look at the definition of "venerate"
Please see Roman Catholic Sun Worship for more images.
The English word "venerate" comes from the Latin word "veneratus", which means: "worshipped, adored, revered, venerated." So the word "venerate" can also mean to worship.
On this page I have placed numerous pictures of the Catholic Church giving "veneration" to Mary, idols and relics. You decide whether they are worshipping these things or not. But before you go through the pictures. Remember these words from God ... Exodus 20:4-5 ...'Thou shalt not MAKE unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. THOU SHALT NOT BOW THYSELF DOWN TO THEM, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me.'
Did you notice that we are not even to make any images. And we are not to bow down to them. Because just bowing down to them is WORSHIP! Take a look at these pictures and decide for yourself.
"Thou shalt not bow thyself down to them"

These are just a few pictures of the many acts of false worship that the Roman Catholic Church commits. It is my sincere prayer that God's people who are still in this church will open their eyes, see the truth and come out of Babylon.
