I sincerely hope that you think Mary's dignity isn't the same as "trash."

Like me, Mary is temporal, temporary, bearing God's image, but mortal. Destined for resurrection on the last day. The Romans had the custom of apotheosis, of declaring emporers divine. The Christians were fed to the lions for refusing to accord divine honors to fellow humans.

Very true. She was a creature. Catholics make no claim that she is divine. There is only one God, and there are three persons in one God.

[Salvation]

**Like me, Mary is temporal, temporary, bearing God's image, but mortal. Destined for resurrection on the last day.**

You are aware, aren't you, of the Catholic Church's teachings that Mary was assumed into heaven bodily? Hence we celebrate the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary into Heaven.

Mary is special indeed....but mortal like you say. She was called blessed among women, (Luke 1:42), but still a sinner. (Romans 3:23)
