Praying to dead people! That is so unBiblical!!! As a Catholic friend of mine once said, praying to "saints" is nothing more than ancestor worship.
Pope John Paul II clearly prays to Mary “Together we lift our confident and sorrowful petition to you.” “Hear the cry of the pain of victims of war and so many forms of violence that bloody the earth.”

yes, I did quote your post, for this reason, that for what Mungo said first in post #70:
Catholics do not worship Mary.
Catholics pray to many,different Saints is heaven, not just Mary - but not in the same way as we do to God.
See thread Praying to the Saints in Heaven
Also in answer to your 2nd. question: Are you saying that praying to Mary is valid? No Sir, I know she is not.

Yes you are CorrectCatholics do worship Mary. They pray to her, have many statues of her, a.k.a., idols, and make claims that she is "ever virgin" and in heaven. That is worship.
worship (verb): show reverence and adoration for (a deity); honor with religious rites.
Hail, Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou amongst women
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
Yes you are Correct

Catholics don't worship Mary in the Protestant meaning of the word.
See post #27
Why didn't you answer my question instead of repeating yourself?
What is your compulsive need to prove that Mary was "ever virgin"?
No it isn't - not the sort of worship that belongs to God alone - see post #27.Catholics do worship Mary. They pray to her, have many statues of her, a.k.a., idols, and make claims that she is "ever virgin" and in heaven. That is worship.

We have been through all this before . Why regurgitate the same old arguments?
You are both obsessed with it.
Or is it because you think you are always right?In your sense, it doesn't
How is that comment a reply to my question "Doesn't what?"Or is it because you think you are always right?
To me, our questions are just as important as yours.How is that comment a reply to my question "Doesn't what?"
Your comments are getting more and more bizarre.To me, our questions are just as important as yours.
You keep posting over and over and over to prove that Mary is ever virgin. And you claim that you're not compelled to prove that?I don't have a compulsion to prove that Mary is ever-virgin.
It's Protestants that seem to have compulsions for attacking Catholic beliefs about Mary.
You are all obsessed with it.
