[Megan21940]

The most common misconception is that Mary is worshipped by Catholics. The truth is, when Catholics ‘pray’ to Saints, including Mary, they are actually asking those Saints to pray for them. It is true that Jesus said he was the only mediator between us and God, but he also said, ‘I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything for which they are to pray, it shall be granted to them by my heavenly Father’ (Matthew 18:19). It is true that God is God, and Catholics recognize that saying Mary is anything more than a creature is committing idolatry. Catholics know they should pray directly to God, but nowhere does it say that they cannot talk to Mary and ask her for her prayers as well.
