No disrespect intended, but that is completely wrong. If God moves the Holy Father or a council to so declare, then it is the Holy Spirit at work, and He will provide, just as He always has. As I stated before, the same gloomy forecasts were made when the Immaculate Conception and Assumption were defined, and yet converts continued to come into the Church, some precisely because of the increased devotion to Our Lady. In fact, in the case of the Immaculate Conception, it helped lead to her appearance at Lourdes, where she so identified herself, and the many miracles that have occurred there helping to deepen the faith.

If asked, I do not favor such a definition, nor do I consider it likely, even from a pontiff as devoted to Our Lady as Pope Francis. However, he will not be asking for my opinion, nor will any of the bishops, so I will accept any dogmatic definitions that are promulgated.

This so-called “dogma” will be a stumbling block for Christians who venerate Mary. It is literally turning her into a godess and it is a dishonor to her!

I agree…as Fr Rene Laurentin said “… The abundance of the Marian movement is, to a large extent, inorganic. Certain features of normal growth can be discovered, but many phenomena suggest unavoidably what in the field of biology would bear such names as morbid gigantism, elepantitis or metastasis.”

I can’t help but feel that we often offend Mary, mother of Jesus

I notice that you continue to ignore what I have pointed out regarding the definitions of the Immaculate Conception and the Assumption. Are you suggesting that Blessed Pius IX was in error when he defined the former, and Venerable Pius XII was also in error when he defined the latter?
 
Mary is essentially Goddess, Divine Feminine., But these 2 doctrines were only made dogmas in the 19th century.
