“You tell me where any of the apostles preached Mariology.”(WT)
In their daily preaching. It’s clear from historical writings from the fathers of the Church from the 1st century.
“How about: His mother saith to the waiters: Whatsoever he shall say to you, do ye. John 2-5
Uh. . .what?”(WT)
The question from you was why do it, when it seems like “going straight to Christ” is the right way. The above is the last quote from Mary in the NT. It’s indication that when venerating the Mother of God, she will always lead one to her Son. History is peppered with Church haters who happened to venerate Mary and were led back to Christ and His Church.
“Makes great sense. What’s your problem with it, other than it describes the church as a con, I mean.
Please don’t give me a link. If you have an argument to make, make it yourself.”(WT)
I made the argument before, but you’ve just demonstrated the same. Assume the opponent is wrong and then explain why he makes such mental errors, instead of trying to determine IF it is an error. The link was a much better explanation of the process. In other words, the Church is so wrong, anybody who believes that stuff must be mentally incompetent or brainwashed, or at the very least, so simple as to be easily fooled.
That happens to be another protestant ploy; that Catholics are not allowed to think, and are kinda numb from the shoulders up. -Glenn
In their daily preaching. It’s clear from historical writings from the fathers of the Church from the 1st century. Point it out. Give me specific passages that somehow credibly validate May is placed on the same spiritual level with Jesus and shares in His work.

This requires conditioned preconcreption to reach.

Why, no, it has always been simple to con people using their desire to save their asses. Simon did it and the Catholic church does it.
Again, I am not a Protestant. I have the same problem with some Protestant churches that I have with the Catholic church, i.e. arrogance.
