(1) the Magisterium (correct terminology promotes respectful dialogue) does not teach that Mary is a goddess,

Just has the POWERS of one...



Let's try some easy math:


There are approximately 1.2 billion Catholics world wide;

If merely 1% of them  'ask' Mary for help just once each day;

that means that 12 million separate prayers are headed Mary's direction every day.

Given that there are 86,400 seconds per day... (24 hours times 60 minutes times 60 seconds)

...that means that Mary has to handle approximately 139 'requests' per second!

Purty good fer someone NOT 'divine'!

Oh, get a grip. A Japanese android with cloud computational enhancement could do that easily even today. I am sure that what God has in store in eternity for those who love Him would make that look like mere piffle.

The angels, who are fond of you, are are giggling at your simplicity.
