Answer 1

John 19:26-27 states:

When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple there whom he loved, he said to his mother, "Woman, behold, your son." Then he said to the disciple, "Behold, your mother." And from that hour the disciple (John) took her into his home.

The minutes of the Ecumenical Council of Ephesus in 431 A.D. indicate that four or six years after the death and resurrection of Jesus, John and the Virgin Mary came together to Ephesus, and for a short time stayed in the building, a section of which is now under Church of the Virgin Mary today.

Later John moved the Virgin Mary to a house he had prepared for her on Bulbul Dagı (Bulbul Hill). She lived there until the end of her earthly life.

With love in Christ.

Answer 2

After a long thought of an appropriate answer, i decided to let a happy madison quote effective voice my thoughts: "Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul." in conclusion: Catholics do not pray to idols, nor do they worship Mary. Where does the bible insruct to ask others to pray for you? The Pope is not given divine status. The bible gives the Pope power and credibility, see Matthew 16:18. don't try the petros/petra rebuttal,there was no difference in Koine Greek. indulgences? you are aware this is 2008 right? purgatory has nothing to do with babies, it's purification before Heaven. you're thinking(if you can call it that) of limbo again, people are not praying to the statue any more than you're praying to a picture. simple answer is catholics don't worship idols. They do remember salvation comes from Christ, except they believe they should also actively work to do good in Christ's name instead of sitting on the computer making half-baked claims about other Christians.
