A Protestant preacher recently said that devotion to the Mother of God is the cause of all bad in the world, since she was not a virgin after she gave birth to Christ and was just another woman.

I'm quite skeptical of this statement. I've known a lot of Protestant ministers, including several rather violently anti-Catholic ones. None would say that her veneration is the cause of all bad in the world.

Yeah, caught that one. Sounds like total B.S. ~ guy is using the word "protestant" to stir up the Catholics.

For the most part Protestants, particularly preachers, don't give it all that much thought.

Seeing as how the questioner also thought the Orthodox 'worship' Mary, I'm skeptical of the whole thing.
