"Yes, and afterward we praise God, not each other."

How is that different than asking the saints to pray on our behalf and then praising God later?

It isn’t. The comment was made in response to a reply that afterward, the poster thanked Mary and praised her intervention...or something like that. It is getting late, and I’d have to go back to read the post to get the exact words.

My point was that I found it disconcerting to praise Mary for answered prayer. Praising God with Mary would be OK, IMHO, since the whole communion of the saints thing doesn’t bother this Protestant any.
