I do believe, however, Catholics view Mary as more than human.

What exactly does the Catholic Church teach about Mary that treats her, in your opinion, as "more than human"?

Is it "more than human" to be born sinless and remain sinless for one's entire life?

No.

Is it "more than human" to rise bodily into heaven?

No, rising bodily into heaven is accidental to human nature.
