No, protestants don't even call the Blessed Mother 'blessed' as the Sacred Scriptures say all generations will do.
Strange for a group of people who claim to hold the bible in such high esteem.
No, it's not. Calling it "nothing more than a pejorative term that is not used any longer to describe the European Middle Ages" is wrong in several ways. So let's call it silly, if nonsense seems too strong.
Actually, I take it to mean that she was blessed among all women to have begotten our Savior, Him who made all things. She will always be considered blessed. There is nothing in the Scriptures telling us to worship her. In reality, there is very little mentioned about her beyond His birth.
I can't say I know what either of you are talking about there.
This is sacrilegious and idolatrous!!!!!
How can u not think this idol worship????
This is very much against sound doctrine; this is NOT scriptural.
From what I understand the introduction of the filioque was the event which the Roman bishop acted in establishing his authority over and above the other Bishops. Prior to this, He had no such authority, as they were all equals. So yes the two are connected.From what I heard, the 2 bolded above appear to be the main source of contention between Eastern Orthodoxism and Western Catholicism
Filioque - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Filioque (Ecclesiastical Latin: [filiˈɔkwe]), Latin for "and (from) the Son", is a phrase included in the form of the Niceno-Constantinopolitan Creed (commonly called the Nicene Creed) used in most Western Christian churches since at least the 8th century.
It was accepted by the popes only in 1014, and is rejected by the Eastern Orthodox Church and Oriental Orthodox Churches.
Together with papal primacy, differences over this doctrine have been and remain the primary causes of schism between the Eastern Orthodox and Western churches.
The Filioque has been an ongoing source of conflict between the East and West, contributing, in part, to the East-West Schism of 1054 and proving to be an obstacle to attempts to reunify the two sides.

ViaCrucis said:The dark ages traditionally refers to the period in Western Europe between the collapse of the Western Roman Empire in the 5th century roughly until the crowning of Charlemagne in the year 800. Though I've also seen it refer as extending to the Scholastic Period when classical literature was re-introduced into Western Europe by the Arabs.
"The Dark Ages" were so-called because for a very long time there was little documentation of the period. This is the same reason why historians speak of the "Greek Dark Ages", the few centuries prior to Homer where there is scarce historical documentation, and thus we are largely in the dark.
Since historians today (and for a rather long time now) have a pretty solid grasp on the history of the period, the term "Dark Ages" is generally considered antiquated and archaic; it simply isn't an accurate descriptor of the period since the period isn't dark, we know what was going on in the period, and there is plenty of source material to work with.
Any other definition of "The Dark Ages" isn't worth considering since it has nothing to do with the discipline of historians. Your personal opinion on the matter is, to put it bluntly, moot. Historians deal in facts, not truthiness.

Rev Randy said:Is this Protestant idol worship?
this makes no sense.. The statue is not heavenly. It is a graven image.
So bowing or kneeling before someone is not worship, while bowing or kneeling before something is? What a very inconsistent point of view. Maybe this type of thought process prevents you from being able to defend your own posts.Those are not examples of people bowing to statues. Next.
Saw what? Again still waiting for a response for posts 80-81.You saw it and even complained about it. Get over it.
No they call her the queen of England, which we should agree is a much lower place than heaven.But do Protestans call her the "Queen of Heaven" "Co redemreix" and do they pray to her for intercession?Didnt think so
Right if you say so. Aren't you the guy who doesn't believe in the infallibility of Scripture?
Well considering that I don't know a Church that does worship her, then there isn't much of a problem here is there?Actually, I take it to mean that she was blessed among all women to have begotten our Savior, Him who made all things. She will always be considered blessed. There is nothing in the Scriptures telling us to worship her.
You don't read much Scripture do you?In reality, there is very little mentioned about her beyond His birth.
