"I was waiting for the Mariolaters to show up."

Mariolaters? What a strange word. Certainly someone can love Jesus' mom -recognize her as blessed among women, join with the generations in calling her blessed as the Bible demands- and not be acused of worshipping a created being?

I was wondering which heretic would be the first to show-up and begin spewing lies about Christians.

What a coincidence; I was waiting for the Maryphobs to show up!

Q. Name a theology thaht prohibits love, admiration, and venoration for anyting other than Christ.

A. Yours.

Get a clue: Christ's grace gives the faithful the capacity to MULTIPLY our ability to love, in fact it is the only thing that gives us the capacity to truly love one another. To be blessed by grace is to know that love is not limiting or limited. It is not only possible to love Mary, and all the saints; intensely it is the inevitable reflection of our cooperation with the free gift of grace.

If one has the capacity to elevate Mary to a level of veneration that you find uncomfortable, imagine how much further they elevate their worship of Christ.

Is you ability to love so limited that you have room only for Christ?
