“Protestants, diss Mary at your own peril”
This is a silly premise that I notice many Catholics cling to; the notion that Protestants do not like Mary. Of course, this is an absurdity since Bible reading Protestants understand that Mary was blessed among women and accord her that honor. What Protestants do not approve of is the Roman Catholic and Orthodox adulation of Mary that is akin to worship, if not actually so in some cases. Worship is to be given to Christ alone, of course. Mary, the mother of Jesus is an example of piety and love in the Bible and Protestants are taught that. So perhaps once and for all, Catholics will not make the assumption that just because Protestants do not kneel before statues of Mary in the sanctuary does not mean we do not recognize the “humble bondservant of God.”
What a silly premise that we WORSHIP Mary....we don’t...we revere her and honor her. We can pray before any statue of any saint, we don’t adore them either. Silly.
