Could Christ have done it without her? In a certain sense no.

And in another larger sense, yes.

Unless, of course, you believe that this was simply beyond what He is capable of.

The Virgin Birth was foretold and was a sign and wonder that heralded His arrival.

But if it was not to be, the prophets would have foretold a different prophecy and we would have still beheld a sign and wonder that heralded His arrival.

Still, not recognizing Mary as Christ's first and greatest Saint is not a wise path.

Anything is possible with God. But this type of speculation is absolutely ludicous; because as we all know, He chose to do it WITH her!
