You know, the Christian West are the only people who have historically been
a patriarchial society.  All others traced their ancestry through their
mothers.  This is mostly due to the promiscuity of of certain peoples where
children had no idea who their father was.  They only knew for certain their
mother who bore them.

I have a book which have yet to read called "The Two Babylons - or The Papal
Worship - proved to be the worship of Nimrod and his Wife" written by the
late Rev. Alexander Hislop (1916)

The commentary on the inside jacket reads

...The pretentions of the Roman Catholic Church are old pretentions, and
frequently they are based on old arguments.  The author of The Two Babylons
demonstrates that almost all of the practices of the Roman cult have been
brought over from paganism.  When we come to see that the worship (or
veneration -  it is the same thing) of the Virgin Mary is really the worship
of Venus, Astarte, and that it comes from Babylon, the center of the system
is revealed to be Satanic.  Image worship is increasing in Roman Catholic
churches, even in the United States.  If inclined to doubt this, find out
why it is that a statue of the Virgin of La Salette is considered more
favorable than the statue of the Virgin of Lourdes, or vice versa;  why the
Virgin in Algiers Cathedral is a Negress; and why the Jesuits push for the
proclamation of the error that there is one mediator between Christ and man,
and that that is Mary, mediatrix.  By all means circulate this book. (Donald
Grey Barnhouse, D.D.)

On page 20 it says, "In Egypt, the Mother and the Child were worshipped
under the names of Isis and Osiris."  So my point was that The Catholic
Church put great significance on Mary so as to correspond it with other
religions which worship Nimrod and his Wife.

We see many people worshiping statues of the Virgin Mary, yet the second
commandment states, "Thou shalt make thee no graven image".


If anyone cares you can order the book from these people
