The “worship” of Mary is always set in the context of the worship of Christ. The Councils speak of Mary as “theotokos,” God-bearer” because Jesus has been first said to be true God and true man. Those moderns who reduce her role to virtual insignificance also treat the birth stories with lightness, as legend, and seldom are more respectful of His miracles or His Resurrection. As for the authority of Scripture, they say it is nothing but the imaginings of cultists.

God the Father provided Jesus Christ a body via Mary. God did not provide God through Mary, but He already existed. Mary did not have Divine essence.
