Ah yes, the old veneration of Mary to all the attributes of Goodhood. A more freindly version of Jesus, rendering Jesus just some alsoran in the story of redemtpion where one need not even communicate with Him, just go right to mary. After all, just like Jesus, she can intercede tot he father and just like Jesus, she can forgive sin, and even better than Jesus, she didn’t have sin and judgement heaped upon her with all that messy beating, scourging and nasty crucifixion thingy. She had SO much more favor fromt he father that she just was, well, assumed! Right into thin air! SO cool. So much better than Jesus.

Compare Maryology to the worship of all the fertility goddesses of the idol worshiping religions and note the similarities. Oh, that’s right, you gotta kiss the feet of the statue (idol) of mary too! Meh...just a coincidence.

but, but, but, whatever you do, don’t call it mary-worship!
That wouldn’t be right.
Might offend someone.
And the last thing one would want to do is offend.
Hate speach and all...

Mighty self righteous of you to interpret the mind of someone.

How it looks to you is not what is in a person’s heart.

You're correct. Not only would it not be right, it would be a lie.
