There is no such thing as idolatry of Mary. Where do you get this unfortunate information? Maybe a pamphlet? Maybe a preacher who hates Catholics? What a tired canard you always pull out to smear the messenger. Where are your pamphlets where "Pope" Peter states the four dogmas of Mary?
Mary Mother of God, Queen of Heaven, Co-redemptrix with Jesus, Mother of the Church, Mother of your faith, when you pop out of the Easy-Bake Purgatory oven on the other side it is Mary who leads you to Jesus. You make much of Mary, especially Pope Francis. And all you do is ask Mary to pray for you?
We ask Mary to pray for us.
Have you ever asked anyone to pray for you?
Yes. The Holy Spirit, or "Helper", Jesus sent into my heart. He , being God, makes appeals to God on my behalf above and beyond any created being, such as Mary, can make. God "overshadows" Mary once again.
Do you remember Mary’s last words in the Bible at the Wedding of Cana? “Do whatever he tells you.” She always defers and gives credit to her Son, Jesus.
Then why don't you follow her directions? Instead, you and the Holy Roman Catholic Church make much of the flesh (Saint of the Day), taking away Glory from the Spirit which moves the flesh. Worship God!
There is no such thing as idolatry of Mary.Hahahahahaaaa.
Indoctrination: ...Indoctrination is the process of inculcating ideas, attitudes, cognitive strategies or a professional methodology (see doctrine). It is often distinguished from education by the fact that the indoctrinated person is expected not to question or critically examine the doctrine they have learned. As such the term may be used pejoratively, often in the context of education, political opinions, theology or religious dogma.
Idolatry: ... Behaviour considered idolatrous or potentially idolatrous may include the creation of any type of image of the deity, or of other figures of religious significance such as prophets, saints, and clergy, the creation of images of any person or animal at all, and the use of religious symbols, or secular ones. ...wiki
The saints add to the glory of God. They are in heaven praising God 24/7.
Even while they were living they put God first. Sorry you don’t understand this.
