Just want to say though, that Mary is not deified. She intercedes for us and we pray to God through her.
There's a fine line. I've seen it crossed by some Catholics firsthand. The Word is the authority and to rely on anything else is to open yourself up to anything. Nevertheless, this isn't a debate as to the merits of Catholicism. I said earlier that I recognize Catholics as important and saved and I stick by that.

I believe you've seen it; however we're not supposed to put her on the same level with God.
Not trying to prolong an argument, just wanted to point it out. There certainly are some people who don't get the difference and it's an important one.

So you're judging our doctrine based on the admitted actions of "some Catholics"?
Do you normally judge all blacks by the actions of a minority of them?
