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 from scripture, reason, and logic 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>

== Bibliolatry and Mariolatry ==
Just as Protestant Christians have been accused of ''Bibliolatry'', the worship of the [[Bible]], of superstitiously putting the Bible in place of Jesus the Lord and Savior and Son of God in their worship, instead of giving all honor and worship to God alone, and carrying it with them as a magical protection against sin and the Devil; so likewise Catholic Christians have been accused of ''Mariolatry'', the worship of Mary, putting Mary in place of Jesus the Lord and Savior and Son of God in their worship, instead of giving all honor and worship to God alone, and carrying a Rosary with them as a magical protection. And just as Protestant Christians who revere the Bible as Holy (''The Holy Bible, Word of God''), and are grieved at the accusation by non-Christians and atheists that they have made it a substitute for the only one who alone is Holy—'''''[[God]]'''''—so Catholic Christians who revere Mary as Holy (''Holy Mary, mother of God''), are grieved at the accusation by non-Christians and fundamentalists that they have made her a substitute for the only one who alone is Holy—'''''God'''''—the Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ<ref>Isaiah 6:3; Revelation 4:8-11.</ref>. <br> See for example the following sites:
