but, but, but, whatever you do, don’t call it mary-worship! That wouldn’t be right.

You're correct. Not only would it not be right, it would be a lie.

To my practical mind what works is the "Martian test" (what would a Martian-alien think, if he dropped in observing this) or the "Duck test" (does it look like worship? Feel like worship? Sound like worship? Smell like worship? THEN IT IS WORSHIP!)

I really don't know what part of,
"You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them;" (Exodus 20:4,5 from the 10 Commandments)
Rome does not understand...

Yes, a lie.

Now there’s an interesting direction that we can take the discussion of the veneration of Mary to that of godhood. A lie, an apt desription indeed.

I gues that verse ;”No one is good, no, not one” pertained to everyone but Mary- the only sinless person ever...what?...born?...what?...immacualte concieved?

And if she was born sinless, imagine the ramifications!

Jesus didn’t die for her, because she was without sin.
Right?
And then what, she’s a co-equal with Jesus?
What, His sister and mother all wrapped up in one?
Wow, sounds like a lie right there!

And hey, not to far off fromthat religion that teaches the Lucifer and Jesus were actually brothers.
That too is a lie.
