the language makes it quite clear: "Mary" is not the same as "Mary's Immaculate Heart." You can see that, right?

No, any sane person grounded in Scripture would not "see that" in the slightest.

"Consecrated to Mary" is the exact same things as "consecrated to Mary's immaculate heart."

However the RCC finagles these words into a terrible blasphemy as it steals the glory of Christ and allots it to His mother is a lie all Christians should rebute.

Certainly God is not fooled by these idiotic word games.

Uh, no. Sorry.

Then you truncate Scripture again:

"Flee from idalotry." -- 1 Corinthians 10:14

1Co 10:14 Wherefore, my dearly beloved, fly from the service of idols.

Mary is not an idol.

I think this may refer to people who were worshiping the sun, mother nature, Greek Gods, etc. There were entire civilizations that worshiped animals and the like.

I don't see how God would have a problem with our great appreciation of His children that have served him.

We are called to love each other. Not ignore everyone except Jesus.

The following is an interesting article.
"Woman Who Had Near-Death Experience Recalls Surprising Way She Was 'Judged' ...

While we should be prudent with everything we accept, I think it is an insightfull article. It is only for those who believe that Jesus is still with us and continues to enlighten us. Not for Sola Scritura followers.(This article wasn't in the Bible)
