You’re really just displaying your own ignorance in the doctrine of the Catholic Church.

(sigh) As usual, I notice you don't offer any reasons as to why you lavish so much praise and adulation on The Virgin Mary.

But, then, I notice you don't deny it either.

What possible reason would there be to deny praising the Blessed Virgin Mary?

The Virgin Mary is the Mother of God. It would seem that God took some care in choosing her so praise would not seem to be out of line. Unless you're a nut.

Sigh, because you’re a waste of time. Anyone with gumption would do a search on this forum or google Catholic teaching, to find out if it was true that Catholics “worship” Holy Mary. You didn’t therefore you’re either ignorant or hold unto this untruth in order to create division. Sad.

Mary was chosen by God to bear His son.

Mary, a virgin, became the Mother of God.

Through the Power of the Holy Spirit.

At the wedding of Cana she appealed to her Son and he answered her request. Her words were: “Do what He says.”

Our dying Lord as he hung on the cross told Mary: Behold your Son.

She thus became the mother of us all.

We appeal to her as our Mother in Heaven and we know that she always has her Son’s ear and carries our cares in her Immaculate Heart.

We do not adulate her, we ask for her intercessions and pray that we have her humility, grace and courage to say Yes to whatever God wants of us.
