Well the magical thinking of using Mary or any other human to control God is the current one we are discussing. Then of course you have all the superstitions associated with rosaries, medals, apparitions, omens and the like.

Please elaborate. I always find it amusing to be told what Catholicism teaches by people who have no idea what Catholicism teaches. It's fun.

Mary doesn't control God -- you've been reading too many anti-Catholic propaganda pieces. We say that Mary pleads for us in Heaven. Does God NEED to listen to Her? NO, He is God and can do as He pleases. But He does listen to her -- just like He, for some strange reason, is willing to forgive us and not smash us into oblivion. Why? I don't know the mind of God -- do you?
