Belief in those things are pretty universal among Christians....we DO believe that our God came to earth as babe in the womb of Mary and that he became man. I am referring to the Rosary, to Marian groups, to Marian apparitions, etc. ad nauseum. The ONLY time Mary is mentioned during Mass is in direct scriptural readings and homilies on the scriptures and in the Apostle’s Creed. I stand by this.

So are saying you DO or Don’t believe in the Immaculate conception and Assumption?
