In fact, Luke 11:28 is the scriptural basis for veneration of Mary, as she is the model for these who hear and keep the Word.

I disagree, Alex (ever so agreeably though), but that's no surprise, is it?

I can't imagine anyone would argue that she was not a good faithful servant. It is all the add ons that cloud the issue. I know you say veneration, but from an outsiders perspective it looks like worship.
