Can you produce one single quote or link where a Catholic says that Mary was not as human as you or me? Because if you can, then it's my obligation to grab that erring Catholic by the lapels, back him up to the exegetical wall, and set him straight!
The Catholic Church teaches that Mary is human just as Eve was human. When Mary was begotten by her father and mother, she was brought into existence with a whole, intact, normal, healthy, undamaged human nature.

When Mary was begotten by her father and mother, she was brought into existence with a whole, intact, normal, healthy, undamaged human nature.Then obviously we disagree over what constitutes "human nautre." In my understanding of Scripture, all men are sinners and in need of a Savior.
And in my reading of Scripture, I find no mention of Mary or anyone but Christ being assumed bodily into heaven.
Both a sinless nature and a bodily assumption into heaven are strictly reserved for Jesus Christ, one person of the holy Trinity.
I don't see anywhere in Scripture Mary entering into that Trinity.
