That's not whats happening, Matt. These folks aren't asking the doll to pray for them, they are praying to the doll. You can at least admit that, right ?
And I posted from the New Advent site, concerning the superstitions involved in venerating relics. Did you read it ?
Idolatry, or God's will ?

Yes, I'm familiar with the New Advent site. If they are praying to the doll then they are in breach of Catholic teaching and should be disciplined; they probably won't be though :(
Yours in Christ

Matt,
Your profile says you are a Baptist, but you talk as if you are defending Catholic doctrine.
Did I miss something?
Just for the record, which are you??

Quite possibly the Pope is guilty of idolatry if he endorses this kind of thing

You'll be pleased to know (or maybe you won't) that the Pope's trying to clean things up on another front: he's personally endorsed the dismissal of two Irish priests convicted of pedophile offences.
Yours in Christ

However, Stephen has asked that people know why isn't isn't responding, and that is the reason.
After an issue with Catholics a short while back the BB quit approving registrations from those of that denom for the time being. Stephen's denom wasn't listed on his app, so it slipped by.
He also said that

IMO the Reformed Catholic Church is mengling Paganisim with Christianity.
I personally do not recognize the RCC as a christian denomination but Rather a CULT. -
Hopefully, you consider them Christian, as I don't remember them "mengling" any "isim"s with Christianity. -

Praying to dead saints, praying to Mary Pagan
Ucharist, thinking that the bread and wine is actual flesh and blood of Christ.

Better be careful whom you call a cult. That "cult" was the only church there was for about 1000 years. God is not mocked.
That being said the catholics are way off base.
But that doesn't mean that a person who attends a catholic church but believes on Christ for salvation is not saved. At least the catholics get the kerygma right.
