When you leave confession and the priest tells you that to atone for your sins you have to say 500 Hail Mary's, what is that, if it is not a sacrifice to Mary?
If quoting Scripture and asking a Christian to pray for me is "offering sacrifice" to someone other than God, we're all in a heap of trouble.
It is reciting Scripture:
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you.
Luke 1:28 "And coming to her, he said, "Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with you." Blessed art thou among women
Luke 1:41-42a "When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the infant leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth, filled with the holy Spirit, cried out in a loud voice and said, "Most blessed are you among women..."
Luke 1:48 "For he has looked upon his handmaid's lowliness; behold, from now on will all ages call me blessed."
Blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus
Luke 1:42b "and blessed is the fruit of your womb."
Holy Mary, Mother of God
Luke 1:43 "And how does this happen to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
Pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
Luke 2:35 "...and you yourself a sword will pierce so that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed." John 2:5 "His mother said to the servers, "Do whatever he tells you."
When you leave confession and the priest tells you that to atone for your sins you have to say 500 Hail Mary’s, what is that, if it is not a sacrifice to Mary?...
...it is truly remarkable that the more incorrect a person is regarding a subject, the more ridiculous becomes the patter...
