No, he is saying that many people gave devotion to the Virgin Msry that he thought should be given to the Holy Ghost. And I say that it is much easier to relate to such a figure than to such a figure as the Holy Ghost, which seems more like a "force" than a "person." Mary,after all, was a human being who however we may exault her was still a Mother.

I guess that's what happens when you loose your Magic RCC Decoder Ring, huh?

Bugs Bunny wouldn't be a threatening figure either, I guess we can pretend the Holy Spirit is anyone we want him to be.

Is exault different from worship too?
