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.

That's some pretty poor philosophy there...Time may be meaningless to Mary but it's pretty important to people on earth praying to her...

:) That raw opinion is duly noted.

...and so, therefore... what? Can you clarify your objection? Why would the importance of time to us be any difficulty to the idea of "having all eternity to sort out temporal things"?
