Mary, and her role in salvation history, is hardly hindered by a very intelligent man’s narrow understanding of these things of which he does not yet know.

Be happy the devoutly Jewish girl said “yes” to Gabriel, sent by God. Otherwise, your argument might hold water, and we Gentiles would still be singing from the compost pile, rather than the fig tree’s branch. :)

The abomination is the manifest ignorance of our age. It’s enough to think some have been blinded and rendered deaf, over the course of the centuries. Much has been lost, redefined, minimized, personally interpretated, forgotten, mocked.

God's purposes were not beholden to the will of a young Jewish girl.

By the way, Mary didn't say "yes" to God's "request" because there was no request. This is a heretical fallacy. God said "you will" before Mary could offer her consent.

Christ "took upon himself the form of a servant," it was not "given to Him" by anyone.

Do you have so little faith in God that He wouldn’t get His will done regardless of what man does?

I have faith that He could have used rocks if need be.

Luke 19:40 And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.

When are Catholics going to start giving God the credit instead of man?
