We need some info, here. We papists (and it used to be true of Piskies back when the Episcopal Church believed something specific) think that in Christ all the saints are "higher" than the angels. Mary, being in Christ would be "brighter than the Seraphim// More glorious than the Cherubim" as the hymn ( a paraphrase of St, Francis ) has it, but because the saints are "in Christ" they all are higher as He is higher.

Your thoughts please?

Your thoughts please?

Info or opinion?

My opinion is based on what is written in The Revelation concerning the saints.
