This Mary thing just gets deeper and deeper into a fairyland story IMO.....saying she’s the mother of Christians takes it out there into the cultish arena and then some...BAd enough the mother of God...How they cannot see they’ve made an idol of her is stunning....I don’t see this will change rather I do think she’ll be worshipped all the more.. Should be shameful to have such obesssion, but then hot irons do sear.

The church is not a literal or physical building, but it is a spiritual building made up of those who have been quickened (made alive) in Christ (Eph. 2:5). The word "church" as it is used in the New Testament always means "an assembly, a company of people gathered together for a certain purpose." The word "church" is the translation of the Greek word EKKLĒSIA which is really made up of two Greek words: 1) EK which means "out, out of " and 2) KLĒSIS which means "a calling" (from the verb KALEŌ which means "to call"). If we put these two meanings together we have "a calling out." Therefore the term "church" (EKKLĒSIA) means "an assembly of called-out ones, a called-out assembly." SPIRITUAL ROCK

>>How they cannot see they’ve made an idol of her is stunning<<

Hos 13:2 And now they sin more and more, and have made them molten images of their silver, and idols according to their own understanding, all of it the work of the craftsmen: they say of them, Let the men that sacrifice kiss the calves.

On only watch as Catholics kiss their trinkets to understand.
