R&B: Regarding your assumptions: Catholics give adulation that is due to Mary, much as her cousin Elisabeth did.
d1212: What nonsense! Must you resort to fabrications in your defense of cultic devotion?

Dear Daniel1212,
You are a person of intense research, finding the English translation of ancient Greek and Hebrew words and all.
While you’re working to compose a response to the earlier question as to why references to worship that you find do not include any OT quotes, and while you are searching for where in the New Testament that the Church condemns and mocks tiny cults for being tiny cults as you are wont to practice, if it pleases you, do some research on the Church over her first 1,500 years as she (the Church) condemned (as you do) the writers of the glories of Mary of which we read from the pen of numerous saints.
Oh, yea, I would also like to see which saints wrote the quotes on the glories of Mary which you so kindly presented, so you can also include where the Church historically condemned them for so writing, or at least if any of those quotes were gathered from the first 1,500 years of the Church.
Thank you in advance for your diligent research!
Why? Try to get it thru your head that it is only what Scripture says that is supremely deterministic of Truth, not uninspired men.

They are ,
, so you can also include where the Church historically condemned them for so writing, or at least if any of those quotes were gathered from the first 1,500 years of the Church.
again, try to get it into your head that church sanction does not determine Truth.
