" Believe me, it's enough of a blasphemy to say "Mary was sinless.""

"Blasphemy"? Oh, that's rich coming from a "protestant"!

"As Rome wants to be understood by Protestants, so, too, do Protestants want Rome to realize just how far we believe Marionology traipses into heresy."

Which Protestants, Dr.E? Arminians? Calvinists? various brands of Episcopalians? Anglo/Catholics? Jehovah's Witnesses, Baptists, Lutherans (ELCA, LCMS, LCWS) etc, etc? What do "Protestants" believe about Mary, Dr.E? Who in "Protestantism", in the "sola scriptura" world, determines what is and isn't heresy?

It is extremely hard for any of us in The Church to take anyone seriously when they say "Protestants believe...".

OK, here it is...

Mary was a very nice person. God blessed her. She was the human mother of the Lord Jesus. She was not sinless.

-saint Harley speaking for all Protestants

Does that help?
