Evidently the distinction is clear enough in the minds of the rest of the believing community to label this “mariolotry”. Mary is not your Mother, she was the woman selected to bear the physical manifestation of Jesus on earth. We are nowhere in the Scriptures directed to pray to her; on the contrary it is noted that there was a time when she was even snubbed by Jesus. Luke 8:20,21. The error of the RCC tradition continues to send the wwong message to its members and misstates the Gospel to the world.
Are we not brothers of Christ? Did Christ not give Mary to us, and us to her, in John 19:26? Further, your quoted Scripture - Luke 8:20-21 - explicitly says we are the family of Christ. Do you believe His true mother did not hear the word of God and act on it?
Further, do you consider Jesus' humanity and divinity seperate? If so, I'm afraid we were never on the same page to begin with.

The distinction is clear enough in the minds of the Protestant community - not the Orthodox or Anglican community. In fact, it is a small minority of Christians who do not give the Blessed Mother her due.

Again, we are back on page one. I believe the instruction is there, especially when you read Scripture with the light of Holy Tradition. You don't.

Such is your opinion. It is a minority one in the Christian world, and throughout Christian history.
