Yes I stand on it, as one who went to a RC seminary and was one semester short of being ordained to the priesthood. The report of Bernadine is not binding. Many Catholics don’t know our own doctrine. The hierarchy has not said this was definitive teaching that is required by all believers. Try again. While it may not be binding it is representative of a lot of thinking and writing regarding the roman catholic Mary.
You probably believe Mary was sinless, a perpetual virgin, etc in spite of what the Bible teaches.
