I am making exactly the kind of argument form scripture that Protestants say should be made...I do see, however, that my opponents start with a dogmatic belief that Mary cannot possibly be in that passage because your belief system does not agree with it, and then they try to make me ignore the plain scripture in favor of their opinions.

No, not even close to being a Protestant hermeneutic. Now you seem to be endorsing Origen's fourfold method of interpretation which the Reformer's rejected for the more appropriate grammatical-historical method.

We Protestants do not go into the text automatically disqualifying any reading, we allow the Author to tell us what he is saying and we do that by considering the genre of the book and all the internal evidence within the entire book along with any pertinent external evidence that will support a reading, and then finally we also use a canonical approach because we believe God is not a God of confusion and believe the whole canon is the great story of sin, redemption, and recreation and try to understand it along the major storyline.

So the Romanist hermeneutic, at least the one you are a proponent of, is not the same as the Protestant hermeneutic and the approach is completely different.

Unless of course it is the reading of the Catholic Church.

Exactly ... And it is all about HIM

I am not here to discuss the Protestant hermeneutics. The Catholic hermeneutics is simple: read what’s written. Apply allegories if the inspired author put them in there; read the context as well, but read, above all else, read what’s written.

If the Protestants do something different, well, that is a good reason not to be Protestant.
