Please cut the obscurantism, Father Doyle.... We know prayer to a non-deity when we see it.

"Pray for us," -- Mary to pray to the Triune God - Father-Son-Holy Spirit and you call our Christian God a non-deity?

Here's the Litany

Litany of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Lord, have mercy on us.
Christ, have mercy on us.
Lord, have mercy on us.
Christ, hear us.
Christ, graciously hear us.
God the Father of Heaven,
Have mercy on us.
God the Son, Redeemer of the world,
Have mercy on us.
God the Holy Ghost,
Have mercy on us.
Holy Trinity, one God,
Have mercy on us.
Holy Mary,
pray for us. ..
Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world,
Spare us, O Lord.
Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world,
Graciously hear us, O Lord.
Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world,
Have mercy on us.

Now if you'll notice this starts with asking God directly to have mercy on us, then asks Mary to pray FOR us and ends with asking God to have mercy for us

Do you think our God is a non-deity for Mary to pray to HIM?

“We know a prayer to a non-deity when we see it”

Do you know English when you read it? Tell me what the expression “pray for us” denotes.

If only you knew what you don’t know.
