Why the sarcasm?

Catholic affection for Mary is the same as anyone’s affection for their mother. In other words, it is not inordinate affection. Inordinate simply means disordered, it most likely refers to homosexual (disordered) affection - it has nothing to do with Catholics loving Mary as they would their own mother or close relative.

So you also have a statue of your mother and kneel before it to pray? Do you also have a statue of her on your lawn? Pretend like the “affection” for Mary isn’t inordinate if you want but no non Catholic buys it.
