Sorry if I were too dismissive, but I really do not have much interest in learning of Protestant problems in trying to venerate the saints, especially the Mother of God whose veneration is established in the very gospel you pretend to follow. You need to get the fundamentals of Catholic faith right first. Wait for the book.

...whose veneration is established...

"...call her blessed..." is NOT veneration.

Luke 11:27And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked. 28 But he said, Nay rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.

The words spoken to Mary were no different then were spoken to Jael in Judges. In fact, Jael was called blessed above women. Mary was called blessed among women.

Matthew 12:48 But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?

And then not word one about her after Jesus ascension. Yep, slathered with veneration all right. NOT

It can't be because the phrase *mother of God* never even appears in Scripture. The Holy Spirit lead men to call her *the mother of Jesus*.

The phrase *mother of God* is a man made phrase by Catholics own admission.

SO it's a fail from the get go.
