I believe the main difference between Catholics and other Christians is thier view on Mary. Catholics worship her as the Virgin Mary, mother of God. Other religions do not believe that she was a virgin, or do not pray to her etc. all of them believe the Jesus Christ is the son go God. And that we should be generally good people.
View Quote
This stupidity needs to be knocked down.

Catholics honor Mary as the mother of Christ.
We do not worship her and would acknowledge that she can do nothing by herself (like you and me) without her son.

We ask Mary to pray for us, just like I might ask a friend to pray for me too.

I’ve read that long ago (maybe Middle Ages), God/Jesus were viewed as more “tough/harsh” towards us, and people asked Mary to intervene to help soften God/Jesus with her motherly ways towards us.....or something like that.  Kinda like people were scared to ask their Father directly..

I am in fact not Christian, but am well acquainted with the history.

None of the books that the Catholics decided to canonize claim that Peter was ever in Rome.  That's not my call, that's theirs.  Only some non-canon apocryphal texts make the claim.  From my study of it, I think it very unlikely that Peter ever visited Rome.  In fact, I don't think he ever left the Middle East.
