“The Catholic church has never changed their teaching about the importance of Our Blessed Mother and her importance in the Holy Family.
No WONDER folks who understand the BIBLE get on your case! “
Ah, but respectfully, you seemed to have missed quite a few passages and episodes. Ponder the fact what Luke says of Mary: ALL generations shall call me blessed. Which presumably includes you! Ponder that Mary also knew that Jesus would be able to do something at that wedding feast of Cana — that He would be able to fix the situation of running out of wine. Ponder the finding in the temple, after they’d lost Him and then found Him, they were puzzled “But Mary kept these things in her heart.” And remember the bible records in the same passage that Jesus was also obedient to Mary and Joseph — being the perfect son, He honored his parents to keep the commandment. Ponder that Jesus entrusted the care of Mary to His favorite, the Apostle, John. [Curious, no, if Mary supposedly had “other sons and daughters that John’s help would have had to be needed.] Also consider the importance of the position of “queen mother.” Not only in our own times in places like England, but in ancient times too. Numerous examples from the old testament given here: http://www.salvationhistory.com/studies/lesson/queen_mother_crowned_in_glory — also consider Revelations — 12 — can there be ANY doubt the woman in question is Mary who gave birth to Jesus? So I don’t know why you are belittling her proper place. God didn’t just use a disposable any womb will do for His son. Like anyone, she needed a Savior, but God chose to save her in a special way, which is more than He did for any of us! He came to save us too. But if you’re thinking “Mary was just another woman” you couldn’t be more wrong.
So?
And remember the bible records in the same passage that Jesus was also obedient to Mary and Joseph ...
