So then, show that God approves of LCM through answered prayer.

Nope. Not even answered prayer or God speaking to us shows God's approval. In the Old Testament God reluctantly answered people's requests, but possibly with some consequence or suffering on their part. Numbers 11:30-33 is one example. The only thing, or person, rather, that gains God's approval, is Christ. You see, if we think God approves of us because we sense His presence in the catholic church or even a Buddhist temple, that is because He approves of the Christ in us, nothing more and nothing less.
