She was much more than that...strange you profess love for Jesus but have disdain for his mother who was selected by God to carry the new covenant in her womb, and then raise and protect our Lord. Letting Him know when the time was right for his first miracle. Then was with her son through the Passion. In Revelation she is referred to as coming to earth at the end time. She has visited many people who have witnessed her apparitions and heard her words as a messenger of God.
BTW, Catholics do not worship Mary...I am a convert, former Baptist and I know the myths Protestants believe about Catholicism. I decided, felt led to read why they believed what they believe and found a deeper, fuller, more holy way to adore our Lord.
Dear wpin,
thank you for your input.
I was a Catholic kid, until i got thrown out of “after school” teachings, since the airbase elementary school, had to accomaodate those who had a parent professing to be catholic.
I was thrown out, for asking the dude in a robe:
“Why do I have to learn from ‘this book - not a bible’, when you guys read from ‘this book - bible’, on Sunday morning?”
