Here is an episode where Mary is an important participant, and that leads to the formation of the Church.

It seems like your implying that Mary had a hand in forming the church. Is this the impression you want to leave?

I mean, you turn a blind eye to aspects of the scripture your pastors tell you to be blind to. Faulty mariology is faulty Christology.

Our churches are not autocratic hierarchies.

Are you now claiming that if we don't worship Mary we don't understand our Saviour?

A: “I mean, you turn a blind eye to aspects of the scripture your pastors tell you to be blind to. Faulty mariology is faulty Christology.”

WF: “Our churches are not autocratic hierarchies.”

I agree with everything Alex wrote and my hierarchs aren’t generally autocratic at all and when one popps up, we get rid of him.

Yes.

If we don't venerate Mary we do not have a complete understanding of Christ, correct.
