Just that Mary is “most highly favored one,” and “blessed among women,” whom “all generations shall call blessed” because “blessed is the fruit of [her] womb.”

That's according to the RCC. However, according to Jesus..

Luke 11:27 "As Jesus was saying these things, a woman in the crowd called out, "Blessed is the mother who gave you birth and nursed you."

Jesus replied, "But even more blessed are all who hear the Word of God and obey it".

As you hear/read the words of Jesus and if you want to be blessed in anyway, you are to obey. Assigning titles to Mary and uplifting her in anyway would be disobeying. Imagine the rebuke that lady would have gotten if she, also, said she prayed to Mary?

I wonder how Catholics think they will get eternal life when they willfully disobey Him/His Word. Since they have nullified God's Word by their traditions, they already decided their own destiny, since they will be judged by The Word. Isn't that the kicker!

"Thus you nullify the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down.." Mark 7:13

Mary does nothing apart from Christ. All that she accomplishes is from His power, His will and His design.

All that she accomplishes? Besides willfully stretching it, She HEARD and OBEYED, no different than anyone who follows Jesus. And, yet, Catholics don't follow her example - they hear and disobey. Pawns of the counterfeit church.

No, those are all verses from the bible. I remember watching that Nativity movie a couple years ago, where Elizabeth’s greeting to Mary was so alien to the Protestant/fictionalized context of the nativity, it was removed from the story, and placed, balkanized, at the end of the movie. And Gabriel was a mute light.

You misquoted Luke 11:27-28. He doesn’t use any comparitives or superlatives. Mary is certainly included in all those who heard the word and obeyed.

Precisely. However, she was declared “full of grace,” or, “most highly favored one” at a time when all other men were condemned. Even the archangel Gabriel greeted her, with a “Hail!”
