Oh boy, the Mary strawman. Wake me when this guy gets an original thought. Zzzzzzzzz.....
Hardly.
I get the distinction that the Catholic posters are making on this thread regarding Mary. However, what will be your position if Mary is infallibly declared "Co-Redemptrix"? There was plenty of pressures on John Paul II to make this declaration. In fact, if you were in Rome today, you would be able to view a cross with Christ crucified on one side, and Mary on the other side. My wife took a photograph of this cross when she was in Rome as a student.
