In fact, as this thread tells us, the RCC considers Mary's suffering as "her immense coredemptive suffering." Somehow Christ's suffering the indignity of the cross must be augmented by Mary's "suffering" in order for men's redemption to occur.

It exhibits a lack of Faith in the completed act at the Cross.

I think we all have moments of weakness we look at later and regret. I'm sure that's part of the reason Peter failed so terribly denying Christ three times. We all fail our Saviour and no matter how badly He forgives us just as he forgave Peter. However, a whole series of beliefs and practices have been created to make that crisis of Faith easier, if you buy into it.

IOW, if your Faith weakens pray to Mary she will buck you up. Or go to church and participate in the Lord's Supper and get a grace refill. The problem is all this takes away where we need to go, which is to JESUS CHRIST our LORD and SAVIOUR.
