What is a mystery to me is why so many Catholics obsess over her.
There is NOTHING in Scripture that even HINTS about all this 'devotion' going on.
I can think of some reason that might explain it, but I'd be guessing.
Why don't you ask a few Catholics and see what they say, you know, to get a general idea?
And don't forget the Orthodox. Aren't they of a similar mind and opinion as the Catholics are about all things Mary?
If Mary was worthy of devotion, then when she was in the upper room at Pentecost, Peter and the other disciples would have been venerating Mary instead of waiting for the Holy Spirit to fall...
Mary herself would be freaked out at the idolatry of her.
