it seems to me
that protestants compensate for the cult of mary by understating how cool mary is...
i suppose it's all about balance.
i just want to say that i heart mary.
we had a good thanksgiving and hope you did too.
today's chewable vitamin:
46 And Mary said: "My soul glorifies the Lord 47 and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, 48 for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant. From now on all generations will call me blessed, 49 for the Mighty One has done great things for me— holy is his name. 50 His mercy extends to those who fear him, from generation to generation. 51 He has performed mighty deeds with his arm; he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts. 52 He has brought down rulers from their thrones but has lifted up the humble. 53 He has filled the hungry with good things but has sent the rich away empty. 54 He has helped his servant Israel, remembering to be merciful 55 to Abraham and his descendants forever, even as he said to our fathers."
~ luke 1.46-55

I know I'm biased now, but I don't understand what the conception of a "cult of Mary" is about. Do people think those who revere Mary aren't worshipping God, or don't know the difference?
Confused...
actually the cult of mary is not an evangelical term or jargon- it's an term ued in art history to describe the preoccupation in religious art w/ mary.
