"What it amounts to is trying to get me to believe that you are guided by the Holy Spirit, and nobody else is."

Get rational.

Nowhere did I say anything close to that, nor have I ever challenged the sincerity, or authenticity of your personal faith. It's just this utterly evil demon of deification of Mary that I have challenged.

The only response that has been returned has been to twist my words, or twist God's word by uprooting it from it's context.

Mary was 'righteous' because her faith was imputed to her for righteousness, just like Abraham, Moses, Elijah, or any other beliver before the birth of our lord. She was not born sinless.

OK, show me in official Catholic documents where Mary is deified. (Don't quote saints, and saying that "praying too" equals "worship" and therefore deification just don't cut it...we know the difference.)

After you have proven to me that Catholicism has "deified" Mary, then lets move in stepwise fashion, rationally and charitably, to the next issue.

I would ask how you know this. Anticipating a potential response, I look to Rom. 3:23. At least we must agree that among the 'all' to whom the verse refers is not Our Lord.
