Peace of the Lord be with you.

Since no one wants to talk about Jesus, let's talk about Mary (at the bidding of non-Catholics to boot!). My question is this--is Mary just used by God as an incubator? Is she just like a plastic cup to be used and thrown away, or rather crushed on Calvary?

God could have formed the New Adam from the dust of the earth, as He did the first Adam. But He did not. Why? Perhaps God, who is love, freely chose to include Mary as part of His plan?

This is a far cry from "Mary worship". She is not the Word made flesh; she is not the Redeemer. She is the New Eve who cooperates with and subordinate to Christ who alone is the great High Priest and Redeemer.

at the name of Jesus every knee should bend of those in heaven, on earth, and under the earth, and every tongue should confess that the Lord Jesus Christ is in the glory of God the Father.Amen!!!

Mary is not the "new Eve". There is no new Eve. Christ is the first in His new creation;

1 Corinthians 15:22

For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.

Mary has zip, nada, to do either with Christ or with us.
