... I can assure you that no Orthodox Christian would tell you [Mary] is divine, even if they prostrate themselves before her icon.

That's good, and I was really zooming in on the Latins. :) I see some pretty puzzling examples there. I know there is "Mary save us", but we have talked about it, and that one doesn't bend me out of shape anymore. :)

The Orthodox of all people! It gets me bent out of shape but then I realize they are not saying it the way it sounds...

I can also tell you that only three or four people in my church show what I consider excessive reverence for Mary; the vast majority give her appropriate and dignified gratitude for her prayers. In all my years, I have never seen anything like this with this small group.
