Silly you. Just because she’s the “Queen of Heaven”, who has omniscience to hear all prayers to her made all over the world (even silently), and can get the Son of God to do what she wants, doesn’t mean she is deified.

There's a "rule" on the internet, which I wish I'd saved, about snark being inversely proportional to substance, in internet debates... :)

But to your point: no omnipotence is needed. Mary, and all the Saints, are in Heaven... which is beyond time (and space) completely. There is no past or future; there's only an eternal "now". Mary, for example, doesn't need to handle "millions of prayers per second" (those are scare quotes, not direct quotes, BTW); she has all eternity in which to respond to them. There's no "rushing" or "waiting", etc., in Heaven.

You don’t seem to think we’re going to amount to much when we’re glorified in heaven. It’s not just Mary, you see. It’s all who are In Christ. Thousands, millions, of every tribe, nation, language, tongue.
