[P-Marlowe]

Catholics are expressly forbidden from adoring Mary. Look it up.

So why do you bow and kneel before statues of Mary and sing praises to her name?

[Pyro7480]

The Angel Gabriel and St. Elizabeth did as much: “And the angel being come in, said unto her: Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women....And she [Elizabeth] cried out with a loud voice, and said: Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.”

[Campion]

So why do you bow and kneel before statues of Mary and sing praises to her name?

Why do you conclude that those are acts of "adoration", rather than, say, reverence, respectful love, or merely circumstance. (I've been known to kneel to pray by the side of my bed before. I'm not worshipping my bed.)
