And all ages since have called her blessed by God. Blessed does not equal sinless, or Queen of Heaven.

To: Mr Rogers
"And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of netherworld shall not prevail against it." ... Matthew 16:18

Peter was the first Pope, upon whom Christ built His Church. Every Pope since has been the direct successor of Peter himself. As the Vicar of Christ on earth and the head of the Church He established, the Pope speaks with authority on matters of faith and morals. Such as the Queenship of Mary and Immaculate Conception

"There are also many other things that Jesus did, but if these were to be described individually, I do not think the whole world would contain the books that would be written." … John 21:25

“And all ages since have called her blessed by God. Blessed does not equal sinless, or Queen of Heaven.”

Actually, Jesus defined “blessedness” in His Sermon on the Mount. Mary is called blessed by an angel, says future generations will call her blessed, and you agree they do. If Mary is blessed, as defined by Christ, wouldn’t you say she’s worthy of honor, love and respect? Martin Luther loved Mary.
