She's dead. She has no role on earth at this point. As Ecclesiastes points out, anything pretending to be her is a fraud. I might add that Saul was put to death by the Lord for doing with a prophet what you guys claim to do with Mary - seek her counsel. Ignorance is bliss?

"She's dead."

LOL!!! She's not dead chum! I know you protestants have this perspective of deathly finality, but the saints aren't dead! You've missed the whole point of Christianity!

What do you think that Jesus guy was all about then?

He didn't come down to invent kosher fortune cookies ya know?

How you getting on with Isaiah - did you find it yet?

She's dead.

Christians are promissed eternal life, no? How is the Mother of God DEAD if she LIVES life eternal?

She has no role on earth at this point.

The living saints in heaven, the Church Triumphant, have NO ROLE? What authority have you for such a claim? How do you square that with the following?

I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
    the Creator of heaven and earth,
    and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord:

Who was conceived of the Holy Spirit,
    born of the Virgin Mary,
    suffered under Pontius Pilate,
    was crucified, died, and was buried.

He descended into hell. 

The third day He arose again from the dead.

He ascended into heaven
    and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty,
    whence He shall come to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy *catholic church,
    the communion of saints,
    the forgiveness of sins,
    the resurrection of the body,
    and life everlasting.

Amen.
