““All generations will call me blessed”: “The Church’s devotion to the Blessed Virgin is intrinsic to Christian worship.”

And right there the Roman denomination goes off the rails!

Calling Mary blessed by God is not part of worship - which is reserved for God alone.


If you look at the full statement, you would see that the Church’s special devotion to Mary differs essentially from the adoration which is given to the incarnate Word and equally to the Father and the Holy Spirit. The devotion to Mary is not Christian worship. Rather, it is intrinsic to Christian worship in that it greatly fosters the adoration that is given to God.

Here is the full paragraph.

“All generations will call me blessed”: “The Church’s devotion to the Blessed Virgin is intrinsic to Christian worship.” The Church rightly honors “the Blessed Virgin with special devotion. From the most ancient times the Blessed Virgin has been honored with the title of ‘Mother of God,’ to whose protection the faithful fly in all their dangers and needs. . . . This very special devotion . . . differs essentially from the adoration which is given to the incarnate Word and equally to the Father and the Holy Spirit, and greatly fosters this adoration.” The liturgical feasts dedicated to the Mother of God and Marian prayer, such as the rosary, an “epitome of the whole Gospel,” express this devotion to the Virgin Mary. CCC 971

The difference of worship between God and a demigod.

““All generations will call me blessed”:

Actual Scripture.

What the Roman church has done with regard to the biblical Mary is not biblical.


 



 

The way it's written:

 
Galatians 4:4-5
But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those under the law, that we might receive adoption to sonship.
