Mary is no more "special" than any believer.

Do you even read the Bible? When disciples were looking for Mary and Jesus' brothers, Jesus corrected them by motioning to the multitude of believers as He said "Here are my mother and brothers." (Matthew 12, Mark 3, Luke 8)

Are you aware that Jesus never referred to Mary as "Mother" in Scripture? Every instance He spoke of or to her, He used the word "woman."

Mary is no more "special" than you or I or any believer in Christ as Savior and God.

She carried the Holy of Holies in her womb for nine months, she’s very special. No one else can boast of this. I don’t care what bible verses you throw at us, we LOVE our Lady as our spiritual mother.

INDEED.

Mary—the authentic Mary vs the Roman Catholic et al caricature—

Mary herself, if she knows of such, must be horrified at what’s created and done in her name.
