I sincerely wish that everyone dealing with other Chrisitan faiths, pray that we don’t offend God in professing our faith.

I literally cringe when I read post that treat Jesus’ mother as if she were some loathesome animal that is being worshipped by pagans. She was a special woman in God’s plan for salvation. The greatest ills in our society stems from a lack of respect. A lack of respect of motherhood, a lack of respect for family, and most importantly a lack of respect for God. The Blessed Mother reminds us of what women are called to be. That gift that God gave us is more important than ever.

God chose her, there are many valid reasons for that. Anyone who truly knows Jesus, knows that he would not be jealous of His mother. There is a spiritual battle and the saints that have gone before us are still fighting the good fight.

Those who think they are “sleeping”, can say so respectfully. right?

I cringe not just for myself, but the disrespect to anything associated with God is an offense to our souls, and our Father.

Please pray for wisdom and understanding before demeaning God’s people.

Then you fail to see that it is not the humble and holy Mary of Scripture that is being attacked but the demigoddess stature of the Mary of Rome, which thinks of her "above that which is written," (1Cor. 4:6) and overall contrary to it. See above and here ..

Please pray for wisdom and understanding before demeaning God’s people.

Who said that? Could you provide the post numbers and links?

She was a special woman in God’s plan for salvation.

Who has disagreed with that?

The Blessed Mother reminds us of what women are called to be.

What? Is society still so sexist that we can't respect women without idolizing Mary?

God chose her, there are many valid reasons for that.

Yup. She had the right bloodlines.

There is a spiritual battle and the saints that have gone before us are still fighting the good fight.

Really? Where in Scripture is that recorded?
