Mary was a human mother but was not born in sin. God cannot be part of sin and He became part of Mary when He used her genetic code in her Son. Christ joined Mary’s humanity. She is not just a bloodline, like a brood mare. Mary was selected for her saintly nature and the mother she would be to Christ. She was selected for her unique soul. Otherwise God could have selected anyone all along David’s bloodline for centuries. God had a purpose in selecting Mary.

The angel Gabriel proclaimed Mary blessed among all women and full of grace. Was God’s messenger lying? Mary is unique and special and Christ loves her very much. This is why the Catholic Church loves her very much.

Romans 3

“For we have already charged that all, both Jews and Greeks, are under sin, 10 as it is written:

“None is righteous, no, not one;
11 no one understands;
no one seeks for God.
12 All have turned aside; together they have become worthless;
no one does good,
not even one.”

That’s why I could never believe in the doctrine of the Catholic Church. But I have good friends that are Catholic.
