Perhaps you could explain why there's such a persistent impression that for sooooo many folks of such persuasions, she constitutes the sum total of the church and certainly all the parts and aspects they care to pay attention to and make a fuss over.

I am not responding to such exaggerations. If you actually believe they are true, then you should get out more and see what Catholics actually do regarding Mary. Your stereotypes are nowhere near the truth of the matter.

Clearly exaggeration and stereotypes are also in the eye of the beholder.

I suspect I've gotten out more over 3 continents than most FREEPERS have. And I worked for 2 years with a precious Mary Knoll Sister.

And, I saw plenty of evidence for my perspective amongst too many RC folks.

But IF THE ONLY EVIDENCE WAS WHAT I SEE ROUTINELY ON FR, I'D HAVE TO CONCLUDE THE SAME THING AS I STATED ABOVE. Thankfully, it's not true of all RC's but it IS ABUNDANTLY TRUE OF A DISTURBING PERCENTAGE.

Are you HONESTLY asserting that you've never observed nor met an RC with such an unBiblical focus on Mary?

If so, then it's certainly not the one in my mirror who needs to get out more.
