I read a couple of prayers to Mary on another thread and believe me, they were pretty worshipful.

Like what? The Hail Mary? Do you know that prayer is lifted directly out of Scripture? Gospel of Luke.

"I read a couple of prayers to Mary on another thread and believe me, they were pretty worshipful."

To set the record strait on the definition used by Catholics on the word "worship" regarding the Blessed Virgin Mary.

From Webster's:

Main Entry: worship

2 : to regard with respect, honor, or devotion : ADORE (in the Renaissance men worshiped antiquity— Stephen Spender) (admire the poetry and worship the memory of the poet— William Du Bois) (whom I... worshiped as only a young lover can— J.A.Rice) (in his calm, unexcited way, he worships success— Rose Macaulay) (he had the wildness we all worshiped — Eudora Welty)

synonyms see REVERE
