I am as indignant as anyone when someone from another confession pretends to know that a Catholic praying to Mary is having idolatrous thoughts.

And we can be similarly as indignant

and just as justifiably so

WHEN

Vatican Affiliiates et al

dogmatically INSIST in their most !!!!DEMANDING!!!! and !!!!CONTROLLING!!!! style that

Trinitarian Protty Christians

HATE them personally or even that we hate the whole of the Insitution merely because we hate various spiritually deadly heresies, from our perspective.

However, the lack of insight and fair-minded capacity to see that what's good for the goose is good for the gander seems to be wholesale lacking between the ears of every last person of the 1-3 dozen in the more rabid Vatican Affiliated cliques hereon.

That's most underwhelming; unimpressive; cheeky; duplicitous; hypocritical to the max etc. YET WE ARE SUPPOSED TO RESPECT such a double standard and mentality???

Not remotely likely.

BTW, I don't believe that every last Vatican Affiliate worships Mary. I've known plenty who do not. And I do not know emphatically 100% that any given individual does--even amongst the rabid cliques so given to SOUNDING LIKE they do 24/7.

However, we can note that certain phrasings, compulsive defensiveness; fixations etc. SURE SEEM TO INDICATE SUCH because, as Scripture asserts, out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.

Also, I recall the research I did on Vatican affiliated church names in the greater Los Angeles area--should be a clue to the relative priorities given Mary vs Jesus. Mary triumped over Jesus by quite a margin. 10's of percentage points, IIRC. Then we had a raft of rationalizations about that. Very illogical and unimpressive, to the Protty perspective on reality.
