Ah, but it is not really praying we are told. It is like asking someone to pray for you.

You get down on your knees and can talk to Mary or the Father. There is a choice there. Which is obviously better?

Protestants often say, "I'll pray for you." Or they ask others to pray for them.

Which is better? Asking the Mother of God to pray for you? Or asking your next door neighbor?

false choice for one, Jesus said pray like this. “Our Father............”

Choices choices.

Again, There is only one reason I can think of for not praying to the Father.

Do you agree that is the MUCH BETTER CHOICE?

Mary is incommunicado with us in Heaven.   Your belief that the Holy Mother Mary can intercede with our Savior Jesus from Heaven is not in Scripture and is irrelevant in any case because we pray directly to God in Christ's name with no need for a intermediary.

This isn't rocket science.   The Rosary is a holdover from centuries ago when parishioners could not read and every Priest was the self imposed intermediary to God.

That is one of the things that Protestants protested.   You need to stop trying to gaslight faith.
