Curious how Mary, Mother of God, is not really a part of the “Protesters” beliefs, and how they have broken their piece of His Church into splinters compared to the Orthodox and Catholics, who by understanding and teaching venerate Mary.

Mary bore Christ. She is certainly part of Christian beliefs.

God says she is highly favored among women - not above - because she was chosen to bear Messiah.

We give her the honor God gave her and and no more.

We do not...

Give her titles God never gave her
Pray to anyone but God
Pretend she has powers
Pretend she can here prayers
Make her into a demigoddess Idolize her
Pretend she is our mother

how they have broken their piece of His Church into splinters compared to the Orthodox and Catholics

Christians (those who have entrusted themselves to Him alone for salvation - apart from their own works and false merit through sacraments) are not splintered. They are the Body of Christ.

They know better than to idolize any departed Christian, including Mary.

As a “for what it’s worth”, this is an excerpt from the True Life In God message “I The Lord Have Crowned My Mother As Queen Of Heaven” from February 10, 1988:
I, who am God, grew in My Mother's Womb; She nourished your God, creation! I fed from Her; I, who am the Word, love Her and honour Her;

Vassula, in the very beginning I had given you an account of My Crucifixion;

remember when I said, "My gaze fell on My Mother, I looked upon Her and Our Hearts spoke: I am giving you My beloved children to be Your children too, You are to be their Mother,"

Yes, Lord, but our brothers the Protestants say that what You uttered from the Cross was meant literally to John. Your Mother becoming a 'widow', being taken care of by John when You were not around. They also say that St. Mary is not 'God's Mother'.
yet, My Vassula, Scripture never lies; Scripture says those words, "Mother of my Lord"; Elizabeth, who was inspired by the Holy Spirit, spoke these words; write: "Of all women You are the most Blessed, and Blessed is the Fruit of Your Womb; why should I be honoured with a visit from the Mother of My Lord?"

the words I have said from My Cross are much deeper than many of you seem to understand; honour My Mother, who is your Holy Mother too;

I’m sure you’ve read the quotes before, though probably not the above.

Not sure what to make of the messages in TLIG either, but... as a “by their fruits” test, when, as a reader, I read the messages as being what they claim to be, I have that experience.

Otoh, “I want to believe.”
