Son, behold your mother.

Catholics, you know the love of Mary for us her children - she has demonstrated it for 2000 years. Why would Our God & Savior not make her available to her children, just as the ONE TRUE CATHOLIC HOLY APOSTOLIC CATHOLIC CHURCH has declared from day one?

Rather, ask yourselves, why after 1500 and 17 years, did some fallen individuals begin declaring that she was nothing special?

Mary has children she gave birth to.

That isn’t the church.

Because it was fallen individuals who, as the lead post notes, began to deify her starting a couple hundred years after her death and over the centuries got worked into a frenzy until someone said “hey, wait, the whole point was that she’s a fallen sinner just like the rest of us, and blessed & humbled that God would choose her”.

Read the lead post, not just the headline.

Ask yourself. Why not one word about Mary after Pentecost? Nothing about where she lived, where she died or anything. Not a word from either religious or secular writers until centuries later.

'she' has demonstrated nothing.

The Church of ROME has had a VAST pr campaign for that amount of time.

She has? You mean as a statue?
