[OLD REGGIE]

I realise that “Hail, Holy Queen”, is the author’s title, not a missive from the Church.

Read True Devotion To Mary by St. Louis De Montfort. Described by Pope John Paul II as the most important book he had ever read and you'll gain a perspective how some may wonder whether the line between "reverence" and "worship" has been crossed.

None of which matters a tap. The Church's TEACHING says that "only God is worshipped" (latria). ANYBODY ELSE is venerated/respected/honored (dulia). Even JPII's opinion is just that--an opinion---UNLESS he (or another Pope) has issued an infallible teaching to the contrary. But that hasn't happened in 2000 years, and I don't expect it to happen----ever. What Louis de Montfort, or JPII, or Benedict of the many numbers THINKS about Mary, is irrelevant.
