the deification of Mary is a whole different kind of sacrilege where God's word implies the penalty is far more severe.

I have great concerns for those who get "caught up" in this Maryology...even in the least bit. It always appears to lead people away from Christ and she becomes central...if He is spoken of it's generally after the fact as if speaking His name sanctions these acts of worhip, or adoration, or what ever they choose to call it.

It is noteworthy that even in discussions about statues, shrines etc. Jesus is rarely mentioned if at all...it's as if He's the decorative ornament on the entity they are speaking of, with, or attempting to engage people with.

You never see Jesus and his mother Mary...

It's always, Mary the Mother of God and her Son...
