Gee whiz do, the Catholic Church has had over 2,000 years, to elevate Mary to full Godhead. What are they waiting for, Hell to freeze over, so purgatory is no longer needed?😀😊 I am not trying to diss Mary. She was blessed among women. What I am dissing, is the false demigoddess, that the Catholic Church has turned her into. This, I believe, would be syncretic paganism.
The worship of the queen of Heaven, was not new. I believe the children of Israel, were worshipping the queen of heaven, and God was, shall we say, highly displeased with them. Then, they pray to Mary. Not a good thing. Mary is dead, and cannot hear anyone. Not only that, but trying to reach someone who is dead, is necromancy. It is evil.
They will say, well, don’t you ask family and friends to pray for you. The answer is yes, while they are still alive on the earth. Once they assume room temperature, let them alone. Don’t try to reach them anymore. To try, is evil.

No joke, Mark!
I wonder if it matters when asking the dead to pray for you how close you are to their grave.
It cracks me up when someone says to pray for someone who has died. Why? Definitely pray for family and friends to be comforted, but praying for a dead guy is a waste of time and effort. What happens after death is based on a decision that person made, or didn’t make, while living.
