"Glorify the LORD with me; let us exalt his name together" David

"Glorify the LORD with me; let us exalt his name together" David
Tower of David is another title of the Virgin Mary that is not self-evident. Blessed John Henry Newman explains its meaning to us. King David is a type of Our Lord, and thus the Tower of David is a defence of Our Lord. And Mary is just that defence because all the veneration that she receives reinforces truths about his divinity. She does not eclipse Him; “He is infinitely above His Mother; and all that grace which filled her is but the overflowings and superfluities of His incomprehensible Sanctity.”
Newman argues that countries which pay veneration to the Mother of Jesus keep faith in her Son’s Divinity and Humanity.
Holy Mary, Tower of David, defend the Church, and pray for us that we may courageously teach and hold on to the truths about your Son.

Mary is the “Turris Davidica,” the Tower of DavidA TOWER in its simplest idea is a fabric for defence against enemies. David, King of Israel, built for this purpose a notable tower; and as he is a figure or type of our Lord, so is his tower a figure denoting our Lord’s Virgin Mother.
She is called the Tower of David because she had so signally fulfilled the office of defending her Divine Son from the assaults of His foes. It is customary with those who are not Catholics to fancy that the honours we pay to her interfere with the supreme worship which we pay to Him; that in Catholic teaching she eclipses Him. But this is the very reverse of the truth.
For if Mary’s glory is so very great, how cannot His be greater still who is the Lord and God of Mary? He is infinitely above His Mother; and all that grace which filled her is but the overflowings and superfluities of His incomprehensible Sanctity. And history teaches us the same lesson. Look at the Protestant countries which threw off all devotion to her three centuries ago, under the notion that to put her from their thoughts would be exalting the praises of her Son. Has that consequence really followed from their profane conduct towards her? Just the reverse—the countries, Germany, Switzerland, England, which so acted, have in great measure ceased to worship Him, and have given up their belief in His Divinity while the Catholic Church, wherever she is to be found, adores Christ as true God and true Man, as firmly as ever she did; and strange indeed would it be, if it ever happened otherwise. Thus Mary is the “Tower of David.”

Glorifying any being over the Lord is a basic disrespectful principle. "Thou shalt have no other gods before Me" is blatant on this issue.

I grew up as protestant, only have been SDA for 9 years. I do not believe he is the antichrist, however, I believe he is an obvious false prophet (like any other fool who believes they are the mouthpiece for God). God is meant to communicate directly to all men, not one man who can decide what God meant.

the pope is not the mouthpiece of god, he's the vicar of christ, the first being peter, meaning that he is the earthly representative of Christ's church.

As a bodily personification of God's will, He is not wrong, we need our mothers, and definitely needed His. Now, are we to pray to her, and not directly to our Father? No. Our faith remains with Him, not her, she is a mere vessel.
