I am still waiting for just one of the anti-Catholics to explain to me why it was that Martin Luther not only didn't reject Marian beliefs, he incorporated them into Lutheranism.

As for the King James Bible, the early Anglicans didn't reject Marian teachings. For that matter, I have always considered the "Magnificat" in the KJV to be among the most beautiful of any.

King James has several obfuscatory verses dealing with Blessed Mary. For exampe, Luke 1:28 "keharitomene" becomes the tortured "highly favoured". In John 19:27 the eternal relationship of motherhood that Christ establishes between Mary and His disciples, "elavan auten o mathetes eis ta idia" becomes a private economic arrangement: "took her unto his own home".
