What is real: “Blessed Art Thou Among Women,” the other is a pagan belief.

Yes. I think the way Mary has morphed in to the traditional Goddess of Mercy has had some benefit for the cause of Christ in that the ease of transition for pagan cultures to move over to Christianity is strengthened a bit in that there is a familiarity there in this non-Biblical, but emotionally comforting, aspect of how Mary is presented.

But the drawback is obvious as well in that a false theology and misdirected focus away from Christ can become entrenched and be a stumbling block for believers who are Catholic.

Catholics that get duped into “mary” worship haven’t a clue about who they are really praying to.

Might as well buy a Ouija board.
