How do you reconcile the fact that they are kneeling, bowing, kissing, gazing at the statue or image of Mary?
They are certainly not worshipping her, rather they are praying for her intercession and/or showing adoration.
If you ever want to know the real qualities of a man, judge him not by his attitude to the world, his outlook on business or politics, or even his manners, but judge him rather by his attitude toward his own mother. Likewise, if you want to the know the quality of a religion, judge it exactly the same way, not by the way it seeks to please men, but rather by the attitude it bears to the Mother of Our Blessed Lord!!!
Why do you kneel in any church?
Why do you even need a specific building?
Why do people treat a bible with respect?
Why do people treat the American flag with respect?
