Nothing whatsoever is wrong with me. And are you suggesting that Mary, who was chosen to be the earthly mother of Jesus Christ, means nothing to you as a Christian? She certainly meant something to God. And the Pope is the leader of the Roman Catholic Church, but is not to be worshiped in any way.

Yes, in his three forms: earth, wind, fire. Oh yeah, I forgot rain.
What is WRONG with you Baptists? You don't need to take a bath to be baptized, just a little sprinkle will do. Wait a minute, maybe you do need to dunk, you probably haven't had a bath since you were born again.
Christians, what is wrong with you? Why do yo choose up sides and pick nits over the stupid stuff when Jesus said Love one another. Damn, I forgot, what they really meant is love one other that is just like you.
I have an idea, why don't you go to Israel, choose up sides and shoot at each other until you are dead.
we could have an "Every bigot for himself" smack down. Jews, Palestinians, Baptists, Catholics, Sunnis, Shiia. You could all wipe the religious scourge off the face of the earth so the rest of us could go on with loving the diversity of what is left, just like your god commanded.

Did not the Holy Spirit descend on the Apostles and Mary in the upper room at Pentecost? They themselves are not Holy but, it is the Holy Spirit that makes them Holy. Just like IF you had the Holy Spirit you would be Holy too.

Funny, doesn't God say, Lev 11:44: For I am the LORD your God; consecrate yourselves therefore, and be holy, for I am holy.
Lev 20:26: You shall be holy to me; for I the LORD am holy, and have separated you from the peoples, that you should be mine.
Eph 1:4: even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him.
I could quote more, but I think this makes the point that God is calling us to be holy. If you have a problem with that, then take it up with Him!

Plese, don't put down other religions. I grew up Catholic, and there is nothing wrong with being Catholic. There is, however, something wrong with being ignorant and judgemental. Catholics believe that Mary is a holy woman because she gave birth to the Son of God. They don't worship her, they only revere her. And the Pope is holy because he is the leader of the church, appointed by election to represent the position of St. Peter, the head of the church, originally apointed by Jesus.
So, get over yourself...

Dear friend, most of us have very many good Catholic and Roman Catholic friends and it would appear that you seem to have never met a Catholic in your life. Maybe you could do with reading up on what many other people say about your own faith tradition. I could provide and example, free of charge. It is an established fact that there are still many "no blacks allowed" Baptist churches. In this case should one not be pulling a few logs from our own eyes?
Shalom.

Luke 1:42 (Elizabeth) cried out in a loud voice and said "Most blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb."
Luke1:48 (Mary) For He has looked upon his handmaid's lowliness; behold, from now on will all ages call me blessed.
We honor Mary for being obedient to God and for being Jesus' mother! Can you honestly tell me she does not deserve recognition for that?
