I asked, >> “Marian Shrines are somehow wrong?” <<

.
editor-surveyor says, Yes, they are blatant idolatry.

Really? Like Sola Scriptura? Elevating a book to the status of God? That kind of idolatry?

The book is what Yehova provided.

A book is hard to corrupt, while oral traditions are born corrupt, and worsen hour by hour. Just look at the RCC.

Imagine! Lowering the divinely-inspired, God breathed word of God to the level of "a book" and then calling it "idolatry" when others honor sacred Scripture.

For we are to God a sweet smell of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish: To the one we are the smell of death to death; and to the other the smell of life to life. And who is sufficient for these things? For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ. (II Cor. 2:15-17)

Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God. (II Cor. 4:1-2)
