Did you read the newspaper article???? Good grief you are obstinate. The "Holy See" has paid attention to them, in the form of Benedict XVI.
I may still be off on the timing, because June 05 is the earliest mention I can find. But I substantiated my claim that there is an offshoot of Catholicism petitioning the Pope to Deify Mary.
If you look at Medjugorie, it is claimed that JP2 was quite favorable towards it-- http://www.medjugorje.org/pope.htm
The Holy Fathers (as an Orthodox Christian, for me that includes a whole lot more folk than the Bishops of Rome) point out that one can fall off of the Royal Road on the right side as well as the left.
That the demons have led some astray by inducing them to pass beyond the honor and veneration properly due to the Theotokos and Ever-Virgin Mary, and vainly name her 'Co-Redemptrix' or more foolish still declare her to be God, is not an argument to leave the path of truth on the opposite side by dismissing the judgements of the Holy Ecumenical Councils that calling her Theotokos, not Christotokos, is necessary to the defense of a sound understanding of the unity of Christ's person (on which equally with His full humanity and full divinity our salvation depends), or that she was and is virgin.
To the "false seers", yes. So?
So far, which part of "Catholic offshoots [...] want to deify Mary literally [and they] petitioned the Pope to do just that" do you still claim to be a true statement?
