See 197.

There is a major difference of reverence and respect of the WOMAN that God chose to give birth to himself (and allowing us to even have this conversation).

After all, you know what a task that is for any woman to give birth, let alone give birth to GOD.
Yes she can be honored for taking that challenge, and succeeding as a woman who gave birth to GOD.
Get it yet? :-)

Nope I don’t get it cause she is not God .

The WORD tells me to prostrate myself to none other .

Your stance and personality are such I could come close to believing that YOU might have some significant difference between the two for

“reverence” and “respect” to be fairly distinctive terms for you.

Given the dozens of threads and loud protestations hereon regarding such, for 10+ years by some RC’s, there’s no way . . . that worship of Mary is NOT involved.

It’s like a hornet’s nest. They PROVE idolatry right and left hereon every time we turn around by their emotionality, hostility, denials etc. and the tone and character thereof.

And that Ferraro text . . . that they would defend that in the least for any reason is spiritually criminal and blasphemous. All the weasel words excusing it as flowery speech and hyper emotionality is hogwash. Idolatry is idolatry. The thought that their weasel words about it will cut any ice with God is insulting to God.
