Calvin, Luther, Zwingli, et al had a very high opinion of the Blessed Mother. Can you name another mortal who has as intimate a relationship with the Trinity as the Blessed Virgin Mary does?

We know more, biblically, about Paul's relationship with the Trinity than Mary's.
When you remove the conjectures and legends surrounding MAry there is not enough biblical evidence to make the claim. I could speculate about the intimacy of Jesus with Joseph, but it would be just that.

How about Moses? He actually saw God's backside and had to live seperately from his people for 30 days because God's Glory was all over him.The Bible says he heard the audible voice of God.Mary heard from Gabriel.
The point is they were both sinners saved by Grace.Jesus never claimed they weren't.
