Have you forgotten that Catholics view the Blessed Virgin Mary as Immaculate? Perpetually a virgin??

Well, I've said elsewhere, we seem to be waltzing to different music. Protestants pray to God the Father in the Name of Jesus, the Son in the power of God, the Holy Spirit. Catholics keep trying to shoehorn Goddess the Mother into immediate proximity to the Trinity. The devotional literature surrounding the cult of the BVM has an atmosphere of spooky unreality about it, and a faint whiff of brimstone.

We will pray for you, because it seems you disagree with even the early reformers. Am I interpreting your comments correctly?
