You need to read the theology of the Catholic church. The problem is not that she is the blessed mother of Jesus. The problem is the theology that makes her "the firstborn of all creation", the "dispenser of all graces", the "advocate between men and Christ", the "Queen of Heaven, sitting on a throne, and so on. Especially when she is put between men and Christ and everything else unbiblical. That's the problem.

I lived the theology of the Catholic church all my life. The Blessed Mother is simply the Mother of our Savior. The Gold Sandard role model of a Christian woman. What entitles you to understand something, that Catholics don't?
If I kiss my bible, does that mean I love leather and paper? Could it possibly mean I love the Word of God?Your interpretation of Catholic beliefs, is simply a lack understanding.
The Pharisees didn't understand Jesus' explanation of God's love. They also felt entitled to crucify him. We know how Jesus felt about them.
We live in a world of Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism, Athiesm, and New Age cults, yet you choose to attack Catholics who also recognize Jesus as our Savior? Why?
