The word "mario-LOGY" simply means "the study of Mary" (just like soteriology = the study of salvation, ecclesiology = the study of the the Church, pneumatology = study of the Spirit, missiology = study of the missions.) We do study all these areas.
Perhaps the word you were looking for was "mario-LATRY," which would mean adoration of Mary, that is, wrongly giving her, a creature and handmaid, the supreme worship which is due only to the Supreme Being, God, our Creator and Lord.
Be careful not to confuse these words. "Latria" doesn't mean study ("Logia"), it means adoration. The study of Mary is not the adoration of Mary.
The Church considers "latria" directed to anybody except for God, a grave error: it is the heresy of idolatry.
Thanks for giving me the opportunity to clarify this for our readers.
In additon to your post:
Latria is reserved for God alone, no others. It is the worships of God, alone.
Hyperdulis is reserved for the Mother of Jesus Christ. It’s veneration, not worship.
Dulia is the veneration of all the saints and angels in Heaven above us. Also not worship.
While I respect your views, Pachamama has been brought into the altar of the catholic church by your leadership, the same way this Hindu rite has been. You can only make excuses so long then you have to act. I feel for you that the church you grew up in has gone this far down the road of apostasy, it’s not easy to see I’m sure. However that does not remove the responsibility of those in the pew to draw a line and take a stand or leave. I wish you much discernment what is best to do. I think the time is coming when all true Blood bought Christians will be worshipping in home underground Churches again unless the Lord returns soon
As for mariolatry and works righteousness we will never agree but the plain teaching and actions of the RCC speaks for themselves I guess we will continue to disagree on that one.
