Constantine always remained a half a pagan at heart

You see Constantine's so called "conversion" to Christianity from pagan idolatry was always a half hearted one at best.
He wanted to try to combine some of the "best parts" of paganism into his new religion of accepting Christianity.
And the so called best parts of paganism that he brought with him include a new second God, old fake Mary (a Roman Venus God with a new name), praying to many so called "saints" (praying to Zeus, Apollo, Mercury with different names etc.), reverence to "graven images" (bowing and praying before the statues, saints relics etc.).
Constantine tried to come up with the supposed "best of both worlds" and the half pagan half Christian hybrid called Catholicism is the direct result of this witches brew of many false and forbidden religions trying to combine with real Christianity.
Constantine always remained a half a pagan at heart and because of that Catholicism is the mess that it is today.
And it is not pleasing to God.
In fact God takes great offense at it.
He wants the doors shut on it.
Period.

mark, how can you call Mary a fake when she was the mother of our Lord, and the Bible clearly says that generations shall call Mary blessed , [ not cursing her or making fun of her as you and others do ] unless you aren't Christian and don't believe in the Holy Bible and have great disrespect for our Lord's Mother .

Mary existed Barry.
She was the human womb chosen to bear Jesus.
But that is about all she was.
Mary the human mother of Jesus is a real patriarch of the Christian faith because of her work with the early church but she does not have the responsibility or even the capability of hearing much less acting on your prayers. God the Father loves his misinformed Catholic children dearly but they do make this very meaningful error.
They make the secular world assumption that if you give a prayer request that is for the son to his mother that she will then "intercede on your behalf" and make sure the prayer is delivered to her son.
The big hole in that theory comes from the simple fact that the so called "virgin Mary" was never given the capability of hearing prayers from the Father, much less acting on them.
She has lived in Heaven for over two thousand years blissfully unaware of even one of the millions upon millions of prayers that are flushed everyday by praying to her. We have somehow incorporated the traditions of men as being more important and ignore the clear and exact words that came directly from the mouth of Jesus as to the proper way to pray.
Jesus said "Pray then in this way, Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name," etc.. (Matthew 6:9) There is a good reason why he stated so plainly the exact way you should address your prayers to God. It is because the Father alone is the one tasked with the responsibility and the capability of hearing and responding to your prayers.
It is important that you know that. If you pray to entities that do not exist you might as well be praying to sticks and rocks like the heathen. That's what you have done. You can't just lob any old thing up to God and assume it must be all good, at some point you cross the line and go into pagan worship. You are no longer really praying to God at all at that point, he cannot bear to listen to that nonsense.
You might as well announce that "Elvis has left the building" because when the Father hears a prayer addressed to anyone but him he says, "Oh you did not want to talk to me". "I kind of wish there was somebody else that you could talk to, but there is not".
And then Elvis folds up his tent and he really does leave your building, and now you are all alone, in the dark, offering a unheard prayer sent out to nobody.
