"Nowhere is Mary worshiped; She is only asked to pray for us, both Catholics and non-Catholics."

So you're saying Mary has the attributes of God (omniscient and omnipresent), in order to hear everyone's prayers?

Hey Old Yeller, how ya doin'

I clicked on "View Replies" to see if Ebb Tide or anyone answered your question, although I can often guess when the result will be "No Replies".

Ebb tide did reply to another question: "How can Mary pray for us?" ...answering, "When we ask Her; that's all you need to do." So it appears that he/she does believe that Mary has the attributes of God (omniscient and omnipresent), to be able to hear everyone's prayers.

What appears to you is just your imagination. You don't speak for me.

Let's try some easy math:
 
 
 

There are approximately 1.2 billion Catholics world wide;
 
If merely 1% of them  'ask' Mary for help just once each day;
 
that means that 12 million separate prayers are headed Mary's direction every day.
 

Given that there are 86,400 seconds per day... (24 hours times 60 minutes times 60 seconds)
 
...that means that Mary has to handle approximately 139 'requests' per second!
 
Purty good fer someone NOT 'divine'!
