Mary's relationship......as a non-catholic, I'd say it's pretty warm.

This seems to be in violation of Exodus 20:3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me."

Perhaps you should consider Jesus' response in Luke 11:27-28 to the woman from the crowd who said: "Blessed is the mother who gave you birth and nursed you." He replied, "On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the Word of God and obey it."

Seems to me that Jesus had the perfect opportunity here to confirm the subsequent Catholic myth of the "blessedness" of Mary. Instead, He directly contradicts that view.

As a side comment, this two-verse portion of scripture bears no obvious relationship to the sections before and after it -- suggesting to me an intentional highlighting of its importance.

Another way for the catholic church to divert the true believers of Christ away from the truth, if they spent half their time worshiping Christ and the Almighty God as they did coming up with this kind of nonsense they might actually have a few converts. There are only three members of the Godhead. God the eternal Father, Jesus Christ his Son, and the Holy Ghost. Mary was instrumental in bringing forth the Saviour and was a great woman with much faith, highly favored of God, in no way was she a member of the Godhead, period..
