“Mother of God” That’s the big one. After that, the rest are just variations and ways to meditate. It has always amazed me how much the Protestants refuse to acknowledge this fact.

More complicated than just rejected her out of hand.
Catholics do not worship Mary but venerate her. It is implied in this wiki article that we believe that we need Mary and the saints to have salvation. That is not true. We believe that we receive salvation from Jesus Christ. We also however believe that He knows how weak and sinful we are and so he gave us his mother (Jn. 19:25). He also gave us the saints to be our guides and role models. And of course we believe that he gave us the sacraments to strengthen us. To believe that we can just forge on on the strength of our own will is silly of course and to believe that just saying the magic words and then never having to worry about sin again is also silly.
Izaat so...
Why?
No where in the bible is she 'venerated'.
Some Catholics do worship Mary, sadly.We also however believe that He knows how weak and sinful we are and so he gave us his mother (Jn. 19:25).
Catholics idolize Mary.
Catholics have turned Mary into a Demigoddess.
Christ gave responsibility for Mary to the Apostle John. That is specifically what the text says. It does not say any other believer was given responsibility for Mary, nor was she given as the mother of any other believer.He also gave us the saints to be our guides
Nowhere in Scripture are the saints our guides.we believe that he gave us the sacraments to strengthen us.
Nowhere in Scripture are sacraments given to strengthen believers.
