The catholic can continue to think this all they want. They should remember this as they kneel before the idols of mary and offer their prayers to her.

Blessed Mary is the mother of "God with us" as well as a spiritual mother to aShe is not beloved disciple. She is not an idol. Catholics honor and venerate her and ask her to pray for them as she is in heaven. She is an inspiration.

There is no requirement to love Mary.

We are to love Christ. Mary plays no role in the salvation of the Christian.

Cognitive dissonance; how do you imagine you love the Christ while you do not love his blessed mother ?

The statues of mary in catholic churches say otherwise. They are idols. It's why the catholic has to amend the 10 Commandments to avoid the part of no graven images and bowing down before them.

Catholics pray TO mary.

Mary is blessed among women. She is not Blessed Mary.

For He has had regard for the humble state of His bondslave; For behold, from this time on all generations will count me blessed. Luke 1:48

Because:

AND YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND, AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH.' Mk 12:30 NASB (caps are rendering in the NASB)

Guess Mark left out the part of loving Mary.
