Why Protestants and all other false religions Hate Mary?
If we look at Revelation 12, Mary is clearly seen as the Queen of Heaven! She actually called the Ark of the Covenant, which if you recall, was the site, which contained the law of God, the 10 commandments, not one, but the priest could approach or even touch it … It was placed on the altar in the temple where the priest offered the sacrifice for the Jews … My point is Mary is the ark of the covenant, why not non-Catholics see this? for more information visit:

Well, let's be fair - not the hate.
Some of them are just clueless about the Catholics in his honor. Some to the point of being obnoxious or unreasonable.
Protestants do not hate Mary. Just do not recognize as a human being without sin, He ascended into heaven and the waiver of the grave.
There is a difference between "not believing in the Immaculate Conception" and "hate Mary.
For Oberon:
Always willing to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect
1 Peter 3:15
My personal belief is that religions are primarily patriarchal, not value women. felt threatened by the cult of the goddess, and Mary is, after all, the supreme goddess.
Firstly - bite me …. who are you to tell me that the practice of false religion. Idiot …. I worship God is not a woman …. …. …. Also why can not admit their faults and sins to God personally? Too embarrassed?!?!
You see, in Real Christianity, God can reach and
apologize. Do not tell some pervert in a closet. I mean, really … Did not Jesus say that he really is the last priest ?!?!?
I follow Jesus …. not Peter. Peter was a man … nothing more …..
You know what …. not worth the energy it takes to tell him how wrong he is!
Protestants do not hate Mary was blessed to have been chosen to carry the baby Jesus. Mary is not yet the Godhead.
His understanding of Scripture is twisted and perverse.
as usual ….
Because Mary was a bad girl.
Here we go again, the misuse of the word "hate".
he said he hated Mary>?
Ugh! Some of the kiddies are really upset about his comments.
"Bite Me". ?? What Christ. Someone is not having a good day.
I think the problem is that many people are in denominations who do not speak of lessons involving Mary, and so are naturally suspicious when the time comes.
For starters, there are two types of churches of Christendom, those who get their theology from Scripture alone, and earning his first theology of Scripture, but also of tradition. The RC Church (plus most major denominations such as Anglicans, Methodists, Lutherans, Presbyterians, etc.) based their faith in Scripture and Tradition.
Tradition is the writings of the Fathers of the Church. Examples of tradition would be the Apostles' Creed and the Nicene Creed. A document called the Didache is a resource for how to celebrate the Eucharist in the Early Church. Then you have all the writings of people like Jerome, Anselm, Augustine, Origen, Tertullian, etc, etc. A rich treasure of insight into the meaning of Scripture, the way the Church understood doctrines at different times and different ways of dealing with difficult issues like the nature of Jesus in the Godhead. Nothing in this tradition is regarded as infallible, but then many of us would hesitate to put that label on the same Scripture. Although no actual conflict, Scripture in general, takes precedence over tradition.
Since much of Christianity is linked to the writings of the Fathers of the Church (if nothing else, they write as witnesses of what actually happens when they lived), people of Sola Scriptura miss all that, and when the time comes is not understand, I do not know where it comes from and frankly do not really want to understand. If you must, do not go a. As someone who never liked to study in school, I sure can understand that.
How does all this comes to be considered then as bad or suspect? It is a human trait to take what we do not have to do and then make it therefore must be bad, because God forbid we have to say we do not know anything just because we do not want to expend the energy!
I'm not really crazy about Mary in my devotional life, but I have to admit that there is nothing in the Bible can do nothing but strengthen their elevated position. Catholics have very strong reasons to affirm that Mary is without sin, and the body was taken to heaven without tasting death, but is totally irrelevant whether or not we believe. The RC Church did not declare that a mandatory part of the faith until the nineteenth century. It has nothing to do with the place of Mary as the woman who has seen the incredible suffering and understand the suffering. All Anglicans do not believe that Mary was without sin, however, some of us find a very rewarding prayer life by including her in our prayers.
I do not pray to Mary, myself, but if anyone believes that to be a good focal lens to pray to God, that's just great.
Praying to Mary is not something that will cause no difficulty for anyone, and frankly I do not see why people are fully involved in a case are called upon to make so much noise, and very often quite nasty indeed . But then one should not be surprised when we see people frantically to get gay rights, when they have absolutely no experience with gay people obviously have no information about gay men, and probably will not know each other fell on them.
Ugh!
