“St. John disagrees, too, especially in the sense that he calls Mary the mother of all Christians:”
John never calls Mary anything in that vision. He speaks of “the woman”, not of Mary. Conflating that woman with Mary is strictly a Catholic interpretation.

St. John says that the woman "brought forth a male child, One who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron", and "her Child was caught up to God and to His throne". Are you denying that this child is Jesus? Or is that mere "Catholic interpretation", as well?
