She participated in the 'act' with her other children.

She did not have any other children. "Brothers" of Christ are indeed mentioned, but, curious thing, every time a "brother" of Jesus is mentioned by name, his mother also is mentioned and she is not Mary.

What is 'unique' about OBEDIENCE

Obedience is of course not unique (but worthy of veneration just the same). Giving birth to God is unique. That is why Mary is unique.

WHO DOESN'T?

I don't, for one. I agree that the title sounds provocative at least in English.

that is not the ONLY title given

Anything wrong with that? We love her. We love who Jesus loved.

Isn't that wierd that there is another "Mary" out there who named her sons "James" and "Joses"

Mark 15:40-41 "There were also women looking on from afar, among whom were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the Less and of Joses, and Salome..."

Because how do you explain these passages?

Matthew 13:55-57 "Is this not the carpenter's son? Is not His mother called Mary? And His brothers James, Joses, Simon, and Judas? And His sisters, are they not all with us? Where then did this Man get all these things?"
Mark 6:3 "Is this not the carpenter, the Son of Mary, and brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? And are not His sisters here with us?"

Even Paul reminds us that James is our LORD's half brother

Galatians 1:19-20 "But I saw none of the other apostles except James, the Lord's brother."

Somehow Paul felt that Mary had more sons...

1 Corinthians 9:5-6 "Do we have no right to take along a believing wife, as do also the other apostles, the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas?"

Even John got into the "conspiracy"

John 2:12 "After this He went down to Capernaum, He, His mother, His brothers, and His disciples; and they did not stay there many days."

And I am still struggling to find any evidence whatsoever for your claim that a so-called "brother" was named in proximity to another woman other than Mary, the mother of Jesus. You must have a special Bible that is alien to what was originally written.

MATTHEW - NAB
13:55 Is he not the carpenter's son? Is not his mother named Mary and his brothers James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas?

STRONGS GREEK DEFINITION
