Of course! And not just Mary. I think idolatry extends to worshipping one’s ideas, for example one’s idea of God. Idolatry and pride are so bound up in one another, that I think we have to pray for the grace of humility a LOT.

But I’m hoping that we can discuss what I struggled to express about diversity among Catholics. I don’t want to get into general mugging and defending denominations or groups

I Agree, How about we try to exercise Love. Love people for who and as they are and not have expectations from them. This will solve disappointment issues. Disappointment comes from unmet expectations. We are free to state our convictions on FR, if the Holy Spirit leads, even if we do not agree.

Or maybe better way is to back up whatever we say by God's Word similar to what Alamo-Girl does very well. Unfortunately, I am too lazy to do this and I have so much to say.
