Why do you say having a perfect womb (free from original sin) for Jesus, true God and true man, to grow in is blasphemous?

Consider this — to enter heaven our souls must be completely spotless. Do you consider that blasphemous too?

The elevation of Mary to God status is blasphemy.

“The most Blessed Virgin Mary was, from the first moment of her conception, by a singular grace and privilege of almighty God and by virtue of the merits of Jesus Christ, Saviour of the human race, preserved immune from all stain of original sin. ”

This is clearly heretical.

“3. Does this mean Mary never sinned?

Yes.”

Again, clearly heretical.

But that's not what you said.

What you said was this....

Post 10: "It is about Jesus have a holy womb in which to grow so that he could be fully human and fully God."

That says that the perfect, holy womb to grow in was a requirement for Him to be fully God and fully man. That would make His deity, His divine nature, dependent on Mary. So if Mary was not sinless, Jesus could not be fully human and fully God.

THAT is blasphemous.

Do you really think that Jesus and God were limited by Mary?
