Recently, some prominent Protestant ex accounts and YouTubers took one statement I made about Mary and ran with it as if they finally got me.

But they only succeeded in proving their own dishonesty and the truth of what I originally said.

So here's what happened.

A few weeks ago, I addressed the topic of whether Catholics and Muslims worship the same God.

I said that Muslims are monotheists who worship the one God, a claim Pope,

theologians, and saints have made in church history for a thousand years. That was the claim I wanted

to defend because the specific claim, Catholics and Muslims worship the same God, can be very misleading.

Even if it is true, it requires so much qualification, it's not worth making because of all the

controversy it raises. So I gave another similar example related to the claim that Catholics worship

Mary. Here's the full clip. But I still don't think it's prudent to make the claim Muslims and

Christians worship the same God. You can show that claim is true, but you have to qualify it, otherwise

people will think that you're committing religious indifrentism. It's sort of like the claim

Catholics worship Mary. That claim is true, but it has to be qualified so people don't think

you're committing idolatry. Catholics give Mary the respect she is worth. They give Mary her worthship, since

Luke 148 says all generations will call Mary blessed. But Catholics do not give Mary honor

that is due to God alone. An honest person would take from this that I don't intend to make

this statement a summary of Catholic belief. And even if I did, I'd have to qualify it so that it's properly understood.

In contrast to what an honest person would do, here's what Lizzie, a Protestant X account, posted.

Catholics worship Mary. That claim is true, but it has to be qualified so people don't think you're committing idolatry.

Claim is true. Claim is true. That claim is true. That claim is true. Her full X name is

farming in Jesus, which is quite appropriate because this is what we would call engagement farming.

Lizzie and several other Protestant accounts posted an edited clip of what I said designed to create outrage
