Amen.
"An infallible and unmistakable sign by which we can distinguish a heretic, a man of false doctrine, an enemy of God, from one of God's true friends is that the heretic and the hardened sinner show nothing but contempt and indifference for our Lady. He endeavours by word and example, openly or insidiously - sometimes under specious pretexts - to belittle the love and veneration shown to her."

Even Martin Luther got this one right
[She is the] highest woman and the noblest gem in Christianity after Christ . . . She is nobility, wisdom, and holiness personified. We can never honor her enough. Still honor and praise must be given to her in such a way as to injure neither Christ nor the Scriptures.- Martin Luther -Sermon, Christmas, 1531)

I don't know why, but I just love this St. Louis de Montfort.
If the antis keep up their howling and baying, I'm going to consecrate myself to Mary. Seems increasingly like the only reasonable response.

Placing her above where Christ would have her is idolatry
