I do not like elevationg Mary to the platform of godess which too many seem to do around here.

Please post a link to where someone calls Mary a goddess or I'll be forced to consider your statement an example of false witness. Thank you.

Do you make statures of her? Place flowers on front of her statue? Do you light candles in front of that statue? Do you pray petitions to her you could ask directly of God Himself? Do you pray in her name instead of the name of the one mediator between God and man Jesus Christ? Do you call her by the title that belongs to Jesus "Ark of the Covenant?"
