The anti-Catholic charge that devotion to Mary and the praying of the Rosary is [[evil]] and Satanic, and that during her life Mary the mother of Jesus was a dirty, rotten, vile and filthy sinner, is consistently answered by skilled Catholic apologists who claim they are fulfilling the counsel of Peter:
+
:"But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and ''be'' ready always to ''give'' an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ."<ref>1 Peter 3:15-16 King James Version.</ref>
