"But in the the Catholic quest to almost deify Mary, it is taught by Catholics"

Thank you for explaining that Catholics don't deify Mary.

I hope you will continue to spread that truth throughout the forum.

Love,

O2

Paul instructed "learn in us not to think of men above that which is written," (1 Corinthians 4:6) and it is that of thinking of Mary far, far far above that which is written that has been often rightly reproved throughout much of the forum.

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'!
