Mary is not worshipped; she is honored and loved, as by sons and daughters. If you love her son, you would love her.

The catholic can continue to think this all they want. They should remember this as they kneel before the idols of mary and offer their prayers to her.

There is no requirement to love Mary.

We are to love Christ. Mary plays no role in the salvation of the Christian.

Blessed Mary is the mother of "God with us" as well as a spiritual mother to aShe is not beloved disciple. She is not an idol. Catholics honor and venerate her and ask her to pray for them as she is in heaven. She is an inspiration.

Cognitive dissonance; how do you imagine you love the Christ while you do not love his blessed mother ?
