++++++This may sound off base but dang it some of these writings make one think the attraction to Mary went beyond religious...and filled some other need in the life of these people....whatever it is it is not only worship but more as obsession.. and that is an understatement. Furthermore how some can even imagine that God accepts this as it clearly dethrones Christ. Just appauling in my book....

I believe this whole Mary thing started to attract the pagans that always had a goddess.. teaching like “Mary Queen of Heaven” tend to bear that out
This UNOFFICIAL web site shows how far this goes with some..let in a little leaven and the whole loaf is leavened

Well I viewed that site...what can I say except Mary seems to attach herself to all cultic practices in one form or another....Also did a little History...does appear in the dark ages idols were a huge part of the catholic church..brought in to attract the layperson who was steeped in various occult activities of that day...otherwise the church had nothing to offer to maintain their political power and keep the coins filling their cofferes.
I do believe we are heading for a huge push of eastern religions in this country...happening already...not to mention just read on a thread the Hartford Mayor has now invited Islamic Imans to pray before their session begins....even though they never prayed before a meeting in the past...go figure...leave a void something else will always fill it and it will never ever be what you thought .
