And always and everywhere in the Catholic Chuch, Jesus and the Triune God is the object of our Adoration and Worship.
Jesus came to us through HIMSELF. He used Mary has HIS vessel.
As to going through Mary to find Jesus, that probably stems from the unbiblical Catholic teaching that she is our Mediator.
The Bible says that there is ONE mediator between God and men and that is Jesus.
Protestants do admire Mary. She was a holy innocent young lady when the Holy Spirit came upon her. She loved the Lord, and she is definately a good role model for Catholic and Protestant alike. However, NOWHERE in Scripture are we ever told to pray to her, to hold her up as anything other than a woman blessed by God. She sinned (she called God her Savior. If she hadn't sinned, she wouldn't need a Savior). She was rebuked by the Savior at times. And, ultimately, she turned to her own Son and faded into the background - in SCRIPTURE.
The Catholic Church has developed a doctrine of Mary - OFTEN as a result of a "vision" of Mary.
Herein is the difference between Catholics and Protestants.
The BIBLE is our ultimate authority for doctrine for Protestants. For Catholics it is the Bible PLUS something else - all held up with equal validity.
We can not, as Protestants, embrace the Catholic teaching concerning Mary. Some of it is purely unbiblical (such as the praying to Mary, the story surrounding her birth, her assumption into heaven etc.,). But we do love and admire her.
If the Movie shows her as something other than a humble young woman, it is my personal opinion that such a view is probably not the way it was. The God of Eternity reached out and used her to be His vehicle for becoming a man. If someone can't admire her for that fact alone something is wrong with them.
