The mere fact it's called the Hail Mary should be the first clue.

I note you do not refute the claims of the apparition.

Okay, back in for a moment, just for this:

“The mere fact it’s called the Hail Mary should be the first clue.”

I discussed that in my posts. That you raise this now might reflect that you didn’t read what I wrote, or possibly that you’re pretending that you didn’t read it.

One of the silliest things people do is to quibble over the English meaning of words that have passed through two or three translation processes. Even sillier is to insist on the meaning current in April 2016 for a word selected hundreds of years ago.

Apparently you think that the use of the word “hail” indicates worship such as is properly reserved to God. That is just simply false. Doesn’t mean that; never did, and there are no reasonable grounds to suspect otherwise.

“I note you do not refute the claims of the apparition.”

Of course I refute your misunderstanding.

I’ll leave you with a proverb that never seemed as apt:

Errare humanum est, in errore perservare stultum.
