Please realize that Mary, the Mother of God, is not a holy goddess to me. I do not worship her.

..and yet your tagline says something different.

(Holy Mary, Mother of God, please pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death.)

To: small voice in the wilderness

From my post which you referenced:

“I ask her for her prayers, because I believe she lives in heaven. It is my belief that she loves everyone who loves her Son.”

HOW exactly, without skipping any steps, does “Holy Mary, Mother of God, Pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death,” NECESSARILY indicate or prove that the person who prays that prayer worships Mary or thinks she is a goddess?

Well, you KNOW the bible says that we are to pray for one another, so what is WRONG with this?

Other than the FACT that to be ABLE to pray for someone else, the prayer must be ALIVE; so it appears that RCC doctrine is that Mary is ALIVE right now; somewhere.
