Mary would only be worthy of veneration if she had done what she had done. I don’t understand the inability to understand such a concept. We think rather highly of George Washington because of what he has done. What’s the difference?

While Mary as a pious woman was very honorable, so were many others. God explained how it was going to be to many people, and many of them said "Yes, Sir" as Mary did. Mary NEVER held the fate of Christianity in her hands. Such an idea not only insults God, but also the good woman that Mary was.

What is the "fate" of Christianity according to the reformed?
