Mary did not give her assent.
The angel told her how it was going to be. He did not ask her permission therefore she could not assent to it.
You might as well say that Jesus didn’t give his assent either.
Catholics view Mary as the first Christian I think no?
Given her conversation with Gabriel..... , “Here am I, the servant of the Lord; let it be with me according to your word.”
We conflicting gospels here......doesn’t Luke claim she had no more children whereas we believe she did .....
Why do Catholics need to place such emphasis on Mary?
How did that serve church interests?
