In numerous comments posted under Robert Nugent's videos, Alexis Maillard begins his messages with phrases such as "(Go ahead, Mary)" and "(May the Virgin Mary inspire these lines and preside over our exchanges)." While it is entirely appropriate to seek the Virgin Mary's guidance in private prayer, publicly adopting this kind of pseudo-mystical tone—especially when paired with polemical attacks—comes across as presumptuous, if not spiritually inappropriate.
The phrase "(Go ahead, Mary)" appears to imply that the Blessed Virgin is speaking or acting through him. This, combined with his other mystical-sounding appeals, raises concerns about the tone and intent of his messaging. While entrusting oneself to Mary internally is laudable, publicly presenting one's words as divinely inspired—particularly in the context of public controversy—deviates from accepted norms of discernment and humility. It risks giving the impression of spiritual pride or questionable mysticism.
