nobody throws themselves on the floor to prostrate mary in any liturgies at orthodox parishes.

I may have misread earlier posts from Kosta. He did mention the overreaction to Mary versus Jesus.

by 2 kooks at a single Serbian parish in America.

unlike protestants the laity coming up with crazy new ideas does NOT change Orthodox doctrine, nor Orthodox praxis.

it just makes a couple of laity look bizzare.

The Chuch has no control over what people do. The Church can only teach the truth is was given by Christ. What we do with it is ours.

The Church does not teach what some people practice.
