Not at all. That is a misrepresentation of our respect and love for Mary.

our respect and love for Mary

We'd probably agree it's prudent to follow Christ as much as possible in all matters.

Christ rebuked the woman who praised His mother, instead saying her praise was better given to those who believe in Him -- you and me.

"And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked.

But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it." -- Luke 11:27-28

From who’s perspective?

St Paul’s?

The magicsterical’s?

The graduated Saints?

God’s?

. . . I’m very, very, very far from convinced . . . and the more of y’all’s pontifications I read, the more . . . aversion I experience, in my spirit.

FWIW.
