I wouldnt bother, there is no talking to the Marian Worship Cultist. Catholicism I really dont have issue with, many saved Catholics, but this veneration stuff has been fully debunked, defeated and destroyed by Protestant apologists for hundreds of years but like radical Muslims some Marian cultist stick stubbornly to their dogma.
Based on your statement, you have no clue what "veneration" even means. Do you?
Protestants mistake it for adoration, or worship. That's incorrect. Adoration or worship is reserved exclusively for the Lord. Veneration is another term for "honor."
I know what you're thinking -- you're thinking you shouldn't honor anyone but God. But that's wrong. Remember the 4th commandment? Honor thy mother and father. Could be stated as "Venerate they mother and father." Means the same thing.
We worship Jesus, and Mary is His Mother. Consistent with the 4th Commandment, we HONOR or venerate His Blessed Mother.
