If it is not necessary for salvation, then why criticize those who don’t believe, or frankly, don’t see the need for the additional veneration of her?
I have no problem with the term Theotokos (God-bearer) for Mary, and mother of Jesus is also an accurate title for her.
PS: I’m not sure why you needed to use a scatological term to get your point across.
I don’t but as you can see from the Title of this thread it was hijacked by them, because the mention of Mary gets there panties all up in a bunch. Unlike Protestantism, which defines itself by how uncatholic they are, Catholics could care less what Protestants believe, other than of course being aware that it’s heretical, which just means not in accord with orthodoxy.
We Prots do not properly respect our superior Catholic brothers.
They get frustrated and lash out at times.
Perfectly understandable.
