I don’t see how various attributes of Mary deny the sovereignty of Christ, through Whom she has them. Try again; or if you prefer, pick one of these quandaries and I’ll go over it in detail with you. It would be easier if you read the article first, which speaks of false Protestant dialectic very clearly.

“attributes”

No, they were attributed to her by those who want to worship a Goddess. Thereby totally ignoring that Christianity is NOT about her. Christianity is about being saved through the sacrifice of Jesus.

Mary was a mortal human being. I am not into Shintoism. I do not worship humans or my ancestors, period. It is not part of Christianity to do so.

So humans get together and declare someone a “Saint” with all the mysticism and unChristian theism that involves. God didn’t declare him a Saint or direct us to worship Saints.

The Prophets of the Bible are messengers. MESSENGERS. We do not worship messengers, because it is about the Message - not the conduit God used to deliver it.

Nowhere in the Bible does it tell us that anyone but Jesus is infallable or is to worshipped or prayed to. Nowhere does it tell us to submit to an earthly bureaucracy that declares itself the “One True Church” (A very cultish claim).

Mary and many others were human beings, FLAWED human beings, whom God used to deliver his wisdom and gifts to humankind. They are the chaff, they are the fluff, they are not the REASON.

>>I don’t see how various attributes of Mary deny the sovereignty of Christ<<

Well, I’ll tell ya. There is no one other than Christ on this earth who was sinless. There is no one we need to go to but Christ. He is our only high priest. Mary does not now, nor did she ever have the attributes Catholics ascribe to her. Giving attributes to Mary that are Christ’s alone is blasphemy.
