The mention of these make 'some' either run away or start an unwelcomed discourse on how in error we are according to what their bible tells them.
They get this from their pulpits, TV preaching, written material.
'Priests' are a no-no. "Call no one Father", they quote.
As are: canonized/beatified Saints, iconography/sacred figures/statues, 'The Bearer of Christ-God In the Flesh'/'The Ever Blessed Virgin Mary'-"The Mother of God"--'Our Blessed Mother'-'Our Lady'-'The Ark of Our Salvation'. Not understanding that we do not 'worship' Her. We VENERATE Her because She said 'yes' and brought forth Christ. Additionally, much more that is anathema to them as heretical.
What about Beloved Saint Patrick?
Or Beloved Saint Nicholas?
Forgot to include that wonderful fragrant INCENSE that carries prayer to the heavens. They no like.
