Why We Must Venerate Mary 

This is a more persuasive argument than what the hosts put forward. I am protestant, and I can understand admiring the saints, in the same way in folklore and history we might admire George Washington or King Arthur. But the distinction between admiration/veneration/worship seems very blurred to me in this topic. Human beings build idols very quickly. Anyway! I still think the Exodus Lenten thing is interesting, and is helping me take Lent seriously.
