The doctrines of men and not God
Hardly.
The angel saluted Mary by calling her kecharitomene, which Jerome quite accurately translated as gratia plena, "full of grace". (kecharitomene is the perfect passive participle of charitoo, "to grace".)Kecharitomene means "already completely graced as an accomplished fact".
What kind of sinner is "full of grace"?
Moreover, Jesus Christ fulfilled the Law perfectly. But at the same time, He alone among all men actually created his own mother. How can creating someone in sin be honoring them? Doesn't sin dishonor everything it touches?
You really can't have a sinful Mary and a divine Jesus and a Jesus who kept the Law of Moses perfectly. Pick any two.
