It's the same deceiving spirit then as now. The tile is TELLING you that. The real Mary didn't & doesn't seek worship for herself. That is one way you should KNOW beyond any doubt that the Catholic mother goddess is an impostor. How many indicators do you need? Nothing that draws worship away from God is of God.
Then you can mix it with anything you like and fall into all sorts of error. The Bible is replete with stories about those who have fallen into that kind of trap. Why not at least TRY to do the things God has asked us to do? Worship him in spirit and in truth. Not with the trappings of filthy paganism which he detests.

it makes perfect sense, let me explain another way. John the baptist was a great teacher, greatest prophet, came in the spirit of Elijah, lead the way for the Christ, baptized the Christ, and all the rest that the scriptures say about him, outside of that, he was just a guy.
but we both know he was not just another guy. you cant just throw out the phrase "outside of that" and remove what the scriptures say.
and back to Mary, of all the women the Lord could have chosen for this task, He chose Mary. do you really think that just any women would do, not likely.

Then you don't really understand the meaning of Divine inspiration, inerrancy, and infallibility. And we are talking about spiritual truth. The writings of the Early Church Fathers are a mixture of truth and error. The Catechism of the Catholic Church is predominantly error. The Apocrypha is a mixture of truth and fantasy. So are you looking to the philosophers for your "truth"? It would seem that you are echoing Pontius Pilate who said "What is truth?"
God has given us Himself and that is all sufficient. The only point you have correct is the scriptures. Traditions and magisterium are constructs of man not God.
Traditions have no merit outside of scripture. Magisterium also must abide within scriptural bounds or they are useless.

Who are you or I to judge the the writings of the early church fathers, or the catholic church, or the Apocrypha? they had access to the same books of the bible as we have.
Divine inspiration: Meaning that that inspired(breathed) the writers of the Bible to write books that contained the Truth(s) of God.
inerrancy: the Bible is without error.
infallibility: the Bible is incapable of being wrong

Some examples of false Catholic practices, kiss the rings of the leaders of that church, calling the leaders father Billy or bob or joe. Asking the cardinal or pope or who ever to forgive their sins.
having statues of Mary and praying to Mary as if she is a intercesssor between People and Jesus.
they look act and walk just as the Pharisees did back in day, they like to been seen and praised, they like the front seats.
all satan did is switch out one religion for another, the show is the same no difference they are modern day Pharisees.

the pillar and foundation of truth is explained if we would just continue reading little bit...
God's household: Jesus Christ, eternal, incarnate, ascended, returning.
for the church is nothing at all unless it is found in Him: Jesus of Nazareth is the only foundation, and no other foundation may be laid. not the RCC. not a pulpit. not any human device, but Christ Himself.
don't you papist types know what 'the church' is, beyond the naive description of human congregations and institution?? i was under the impression that there was a rich history of theological understanding among the people of God...
Although I hope to come to you soon, I am writing you these instructions so that, if I am delayed, you will know how people ought to conduct themselves in God’s household, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of the truth. Beyond all question, the mystery from which true godliness springs is great:
He appeared in the flesh,
was vindicated by the Spirit,
was seen by angels,
was preached among the nations,
was believed on in the world,
was taken up in glory.
(1 Timothy 3:14-16)
