Its only a denigration of Mary if you have her placed on too high a pedestal.

If Jesus was born the Son of God, one third of the Trinity and not just a boy who became a man who became God, then she is the Mother of God, so it is deserving of being placed on a high pedestal. She was not just some ordinary woman who just happened to give birth to our messiah.
No argument. I didnt say she shouldnt be honored. I’m just saying the pedestal is TOO high.
