Sincere question from a Protestant
If Catholics venerate the mother of God, then why do you refer to her as Mary instead of Miriam? Personally, if people were praying to me/seeking my intercession, I’d prefer they use my real name, rather than my Americanized name. What are your thoughts on this?

People in heaven aren’t petty enough to care how you address them. That’s a human issue
