I strongly agree with you.
Was pondering more on thie Marionolotry business . . .
we have an excellent example, a proof, actually, right here on FR.
If I'm dismissive or satirical in any way that might be construed a slight on God or Jesus or Holy Spirit--all the RC's are plenty calm.
If I'm so toward Mary, they go ballistic in a flash.
If I'm so against the RC edifice, it's a mixed bag depending. Some can go ballistic depending on whether it slights the pope or some favored part of the edifice. Mostly, it's a mixed bag.
This leads me to the inescapable conclusion and conviction that . . . for many . . .
MARY IS ABOVE GOD IN EMOTIONAL BONDEDNESS AND ADORATION for many folks hereon.
Then comes the Roman edifice.
Then comes God, Son, Spirit.
Methinks somethings' very wrong with that priority list.
IN OTHER WORDS . . . .
based on
THEIR ACTIONS SPEAKING LOUDER THAN THEIR WORDS . . .
Their priority list seems to be:
1. MARY UPPERMOST
2. Then the RC edifice--especially favored parts of it
3. Then God, Son, Spirit.
