Were you ever taught that Mary was God or even god? Were you ever taught that she was divine? Were you ever taught that she was due worship or taught to worship her?
Let’s see...
“Co-redemtrix,” “Queen of Heaven,” “Mother of God,” “Mother of us all...”
I’ve seen long precessions of male and female children march to her statue and stand while the priest crowns the head of the statue with flowers.
I’ve heard prayers pleading for “her blessings.”
Yeah, that pretty much covers giving Mary a deity status near or equal to Jesus and receiving worship.
Which silly picture do I get this time? Can I please have my bear on a unicycle? I’ll settle for a bear on a scooter.
You were raised Catholic?
