"Is Prayer/Veneration/Worship to Mary Biblical?"

"In conclusion....based on the Word of God we see that the catholic position regarding the veneration of Mary, making statutes to Mary, kneeling before Mary, etc do not pass the Biblical test."

Based solely on the title your article fails the honesty test, as you deliberately lump to together three things as one, including something Catholics do not do, ie worship Mary.

Reread...based on the NT definition of worship...yes catholics worship Mary.

If Protestants would only read the last sentence of the Hail Mary (no it is not a long bewildered pass in football).

Mary can do nothing for us but pray.

If she were divine she would not be able to pray — who does divinity pray to?

As a former Catholic who saw it firsthand, it's worship.

Seems to me that Catholics do indeed worship Mary. Everything they do is to Mary, for Mary, by Mary.
