No matter how many times and ways I say nobody in the Church worships the pope and to do so would get you excommunicated instantly you insist otherwise. I give up.
The post immediately above this one is rhetorical blather.
I've heard that about Mary, too. However, I was in an RC church and saw a stature of Mary with a bunch of children at her feet, heads bowed, praying to her. The RCC calls her a co-redeemer with Christ. That's pure invention as the Bible says nothing of the kind. She was honored by being the mother of Jesus, but beyond that, she was nothing more than any other believer, saved by Jesus' blood.
