If you could tell me what these "norse winter traditions" are, that would be helpful

Once again, WE DO NOT WORSHIP MARY. We respect her for what she is and has done, she is no "mother goddess figure".

Catholic

"We dont worship her but we're going to pray to her as if she was God. Lol silly protestant."

This is where we have to be careful with wording. We pray to her for intercession on her behalf to God

Lol ok

Because I'm sure it's too hard for God to handle all those prayers

Omnipotence has its limits!

😑

Jesus answered, “I am the Way and the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. If you really know Me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know Him and have seen Him.”
John 14:6‭-‬7 NIV

🙄 of course omnipotence doesn't have its limits, and He sure doesn't struggle with prayers. In fact, asking Mary to intercess isn't necessary at all for praying to God. If you mean praying to Mary in reference to the Hail Mary prayer, that is just to honor her.

Fuck saints, all my homies realize God is the One and capable of all Miracles and Graces directly and absolutely

Honor her for what?

Did she die on a cross?

Look at Catholic answers, they can help a lot with understanding the Faith.

How about you try listening to the Bible for once

Instead of some old fart in a cassock

We honor her because SHE IS THE FCKING MOTHER OF GOD

If that's not good enough, idk what is

She was a surrogate

Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit

> Fuck saints, all my homies realize God is the One and capable of all Miracles and Graces directly and absolutely
@corny🌽🌽 this is ridiculous, the apostles performed miracles

Through God

Catholic

😒

Yes
We honor scripture and tradition

Arguable

Mmm how so?

If you followed the Bible Martin Luther wouldnt have filed a letter to the complaint ministry

....
Yes
People screw up

Accept it

This is like saying defund the police because of a few bad cops

Nope
Inaccurate

Just not the doctrine

“You shall have no other gods before Me. “You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate Me."
Exodus 20:3‭-‬5 NIV

I don't see how this applies. We only worship God(/Jesus/Holy Spirit)

>says the people who pray to saints, popes, confession stands, and other intercessant fakes
