“With Mary, we have the proclamation from an Angel that “all generations will call you blessed”. This isn’t just a throwaway statement. How many times in the Bible does God send a messenger to proclaim that someone is blessed? Once. With Mary.”
Uh... no. Try reading Matthew 5. Jesus called a lot of people blessed. Not an angel.
Sheesh.
Where in scripture is Mary said to be sinless? On a another thread someone was accused of arguing from silence... sounds like you’re doing the same thing.

“Jesus called a lot of people blessed. Not an angel.”
What, did he go and say:
Peter, you are blessed, Paul, you are blessed, Judas you are blessed?
Or did he actually say, ‘Blessed are the X.’
The Angel said, all generations will call YOU blessed. To Mary.
