Iscool, if you believe in the Bible as an Evangelical Protestant Christian, would it suprise you that when the Savior was dying on the Cross, He gaved the beloved Apostle John His own mother(?) What Jesus did was make His Mother Mary not only sister in faith, but a spiritual mother and prayer warrior/intercesor. Mary is the MOTHER of ALL CHRISTIAN BELIEVERS, be they Catholic, Orthodox, or even Protestant. Would it suprise you that even Protestants are discovering or rediscovering Mary, thanks to the movies “The Passion Of The Christ” and “ The Nativity”? This is a good thing because it will with the help of the Holy Spirit bring the Christian believers into greater unity.

No He didn't...You're reading stuff into it that's just not there...

Jesus never called his Mother, Mother, or Mom, or Mama, or Mother of God, or Queen of Heaven...He called her woman...

Luk 11:27 And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked.
Luk 11:28 But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.

Jesus went out of his way to let us know that were are not to look on Mary as someone than the average Christian...

Mary is the MOTHER of ALL CHRISTIAN BELIEVERS, be they Catholic, Orthodox, or even Protestant.

Mother in Law, maybe, if we want to get technical...

Would it suprise you that even Protestants are discovering or rediscovering Mary, thanks to the movies “The Passion Of The Christ” and “ The Nativity”?

Doesn't surprise me at all...Those Protestants never wandered too far from Rome to begin with...

This is a good thing because it will with the help of the Holy Spirit bring the Christian believers into greater unity.

I'm for unity...I support unity 100%...We should all unite as long as we leave the pope, priests and Eucharist in Rome and NOT in our united church...

And she can:

Hear prayers, provide special intercession as the Mother of the Son of God, that she is the Mother of God, that she is the mother of the church, that she is the Queen of Heaven, that she was immaculately conceived, that she was ever virgin, the dispenser of all grace, that she gave birth while keeping a hymen intact, or that she is our co-redeemer, that she appears to people with messages, that she performs miracles from heaven,
