I posted We have a first lady who prays, prays the rosary even - so cool - God bless and keep her and her family safe.
To which you responded among other things

It is plain that although mankind was created by Him (G-D) they (most of them?) are not sons & daughters of God. While I'm at it, it's only fair to again remind -- "Mary" is not God.

Question:

My motivation was - I was cheering we have someone who is a religious practicing christian that prays the rosary, implying this is a welcome change. In pointing out she isn't divine, a subject not even remotely in my one sentence post or relevant, what was your motivation?

From the article, it's not exactly known that Melania (bless her heart) in fact "prays the rosary", although she may. It was established that she had one, and that it was blessed by Bergoglio.

If in fact you agree that "Mary" is not divine -- then we are in agreement on that point.

After saying as much, I referred to how Jesus himself was attributed (in NT Scripture) having explicitly instructed his disciples "how" to pray.

There -- right there --- is the central place of my motivations.

That much had been there on the page, from the beginning.
