Some people have gone overboard in their Marian devotion, but even they know that Mary is not a substitute for Jesus, although she does turn us toward Him.
Catholics do revere Mary, as her Son taught us to do. I have no idea what you mean about 'conducting operations on the earth'. As one of Jesus's disciples, we can pray for miracles through her, in His name, in the same manner as he directed his other disciples, and as some Saints in heaven do. Of course, these miracles are works of God, and we all know that, but there's nothing wrong with enlisting the help of our favorite Saints when we're asking for God's help. Isn't that what we do here on earth when we ask others to pray for us? Again, we're only doing what Jesus directed us to do.
“Mary has been idolized so much by the Catholics that, rather than “favored”, she now conducts operations on the earth, works in men’s hearts, and performs spiritual duties like the Spirit of God. Sounds blasphemous.”
Dutchboy wrote that - I was responding to it. Martin Luther, Zwingli, Wesley, Bullinger, Calvin all revered/honored the Blessed Mother. I just wanted to know when the Protestants dropped the Tradition of honoring Mary.
