The Church teaches four Marian dogmas:

Before I name them, it should be noted that Mary was created, and therefore not a goddess.
1.) She was born without original sin. (Immaculate Conception)
2.) She is perpetually a virgin. (Perpetual Virginity)
3.) She was assumed (taken up, not went up of her on ability) into Heaven. (Assumption)
4.) She is the Mother of God (a statement more about Jesus than her) (Divine Maternity).

The Mormons would argue with you on this one...

Thanks for the clarification. Now, do all catholics agree? What about the members of the Royal Caribbean Cruise line?
