“Hail Mary full of grace, the Lord is with thee!”

If I were a Catholic, I think I would pray for intercession from one of the lesser known Popes. Mary seems like she would have a plateful with a hundred million Catholics wanting intercession from her.
It would be nice to know what agreement from 2005 the author is talking about.
Danny Akin’s comment does not seem to line up as agreement to the RCC “devotion” to Mary. Unless Akin has become senile, he is still a firm, Biblical Christian who would not embrace extra-Biblical doctrines such as 98% of what passes for “devotion to Mary”. His comments about Mary are on target.
INTREP
I do believe that one of the signs the Christians are coming back together again, even if slowly is a new found respect for Mary. Also what helped was besides the Nativity movie, the Passion of the Christ movie sparked new interest. It shows Mary in a brand new light. This is by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Mary was not a pope. If you were a Catholic, you would pray the rosary where Jesus is the center of the prayer.
The circle of people who agree with that statement seems to be shrinking, praise God.
Never said she was.

Catholics often refer to their asking Mary for intercession as prayer, so I am not sure what you are saying. Are they wrong? If so, there is a lot of confusion in the church.

Pope St. Eleutherius pray for us
Sancta Maria, ora pro nobis!
What Mary can’t handle, she can pass on to her boy. He can do it.
Part of me says, “hmmm, that's good.”
Another part of me says, “How embarrassing! They're becoming more Catholic than Catholics: voting pro-life, socially conservative, generous to the poor...and now they pray to the Blessed Virgin?!?!?! Quick! Burn some incense, wrap a Rosary around my rear view mirror, wear a T-Shirt of Pope B16 drinking bear on the front and Pope JP2 with sunglasses on the back, staple a Mass Card to my forehead...I was Catholic FIRST!!!!!”
Thanks for the link. None of the signatories are what I would consider Protestants. Anglicans make up the most non-RC signatories - they are junior league RCs. The World Council of Churches is listed - they are and have been apostate for decades.
The title of this article is most misleading, as there is no evidence presented to support the notion that there’s a revival of Mary devotion amongst Protestants. BTW, there would have had to be an initial Mary devotion to have a revival of the same. Don’t think the Reformers had the same view of Mary as does the RCC. I certainly do not.
With all due respect, Mary is the Jewish mother many of us never had.
;)
Then you don't know much about the teachings and writings of Calvin, Luther and Zwingli, for starters. The diminishing by protestants of the unique role that the Blessed Mother plays in the salvation of mankind is a relatively recent occurrence.
That's Akin's interpretation of Scripture. I'll bet he uses the abridged, edited version too.
