I think I will start posting this response from now on...
You are not Catholic and we are. We believe Jesus speaks to us in many more ways than the Bible alone. We believe in apostolic tradition and the early church fathers. We believe in intercessory prayer with saints, who are those we aspire to be like, who we believe are alive in heaven, who hear us when we pray, pray with us and for us, and bring our prayers to Jesus. We believe Jesus and his mother have appeared to many of us giving us new prayers and words of wisdom, and performing documented and proven miracles. We love our cathedrals, icons, pictures, and statues that represent who we worship or venerate, just as a photo in your wallet or phone represents someone YOU love. Stop trying to make us be like you. You broke away from us because there were things one man and some of his followers didn't agree with. Then over the next 500 years, more than 40,000 other protesting denominations were created because no one can agree with anyone else. We're fine with who we are - yes, even after 2000 years.
