[Petronski]

There are tens of millions of Catholics with a very strong, even fundamental, belief in Mary's divinity.

Tens of millions of Catholics slandered.

You must be so proud.

Tens of millions of Catholics slandered. You must be so proud.

I was citing evidence of actual beliefs around the world, and my reflections on the possible roots of such beliefs.

Why would you consider that to be slander, unless you had some sort of personal reference to judge it as such? Oh, I'm sorry - you don't give out specific personal beliefs, so that question can't be answered.
