Peace to you,
Believer, i was born Catholic too but i have come to realise that Catholicism is just man made rituals and human traditions.
The Catholic Church has invented new dogma, Nothing in Catholicism has Biblical backing!!
You say you dont venerate images of Mary or Jesus then you would be contradicting Catholic Beliefs. If you dont believe me then look up the vatican website where they say the Images of Mary and Jesus must be venerated and adored!!
You say u keep them as reminders but those images are not of Mary or Jesus at all? There are so many different images of jesus, in some he has blonde hair some brown, in some he has a beard and in some even a goatee!!!! and in all these images Jesus is portrayed as a handsome young man, when infact scripture says that there will be nothing in him that to desire!!
Do you consider the Pope to be the Supreme head of the Church or the representative of Christ on earth? do you think the Pope is infallible?
Catholic beliefs are in total Contradiction to what Jesus preached or what the Bible says.
They even omitted the commandment that forbids making graven images and idols and bowing down to them just so that they could introduce the veneration of images of mary and Jesus.
Peace!!
