    The veneration of the Virgin Mary and saints is considered pagan worship negating the whole of Catholicism.

    They will evangelicals speak about them in the same breath as Islam , with no exceptions they are going straight to hell.

      Makes sense, since Islam also venerates the Virgin Mary. There are long passages in the Qur’an praising her.

        Muslim here. Mary is, in fact, not venerated in Islam in the way Catholics use the term. She’s praised in the Quran, sure, and is considered a Very Good Person, but so are many people. Islam is considered heresy in Christianity because it rejects the Trinity (according to Islam only Unitarians have the slightest clue what they’re talking about), accepts Muhammed as a prophet and rejects parts of the Bible as corrupted.
