Did "Mary" sin?
Was she conceived by a virgin?
Does she serve in the role of redeemer?
Is she the "Queen of Heaven"?
I've never heard any of that. ?
Do people think Catholics believe that??
Why do you ask that? Just curious...

So tough to get a honest answer.
So, this means that you think she DID sin? Which means you do not believe in the immaculate conception? Catholics get all defensive with these types of questions because they know full well that they have to rely on DOGMA instead of SCRIPTURE to prove them.
Do you not agree with the following quote from catholic.com?
...by a special intervention of God, undertaken at the instant she was conceived, she was preserved from the stain of original sin and its consequences. She was therefore redeemed by the grace of Christ, but in a special wayby anticipation....So if Pauls statement in Romans 3 includes an exception for the New Adam (Jesus), one may argue that an exception for the New Eve (Mary) can also be made.
So, according to catholic.com, "Mary" is the "New Eve". In the same way that "Jesus" is the "New Adam". Sheesh.
