::::::Calm down, Nate! According to the article as it stands now, it reads: "Many Protestants identify Catholics as worshippers of Mary. Catholics vigorously deny that they worship any being but God." which seems to present both the Protestant ''and'' the Catholic view equally. This phrase indicates that Protestants believe something about Catholics, and that Catholics deny that Protestant belief (in other words, they do not hold that belief to be true). What's the problem here? [[User:Tzoran|Tyler Zoran]] <sup>[[User talk:Tzoran|Talk]]</sup> 15:10, 31 December 2010 (EST)

The only thing that sentence states flatly is that Protestants ''identify'' Catholics as worshiping Mary. It's merely an attribution of a belief. Pardon my metaphor, but red-green colorblind people identify red as a grayish color, but stating that "People with red-green colorblindness identify red/green as gray" is ''clearly not'' stating flatly that red/green are the same color as gray. Does that make sense? The sentence appears very straightforward to me. If you still have a problem with it, what alternative do you propose?
