There are many references in extreme protestant churches that catholics commit idolatory by 'worshipping Mary'. Indeed, there are many places where the term 'mary worshipper' is used as an insult.
What you need to understand is that we catholics do NOT worship Mary. To do this would be a great sin, as worship is reserved for God alone.
But the Bible tells us that Mary is 'most blessed', in Luke 1:48. This is because she was the mother of the Christ child, the mother of God. We therefore venerate and honour her, and make requests for her to intercede for us.
So does anyone here object to this?
