Yes, I was raised Catholic, but more importantly, I was not raised Anti-Catholic but if you believe that Jesus Christ was truly the Son of GOD, how could NOT Mary be more than a "mere woman" ???

With all respect, as a Protestant I do believe Mary was more than a mere woman, in much the same sense that Moses was more than a mere man. They transcend "mere" men and women because they were specially chosen by God to perform a special mission on his behalf.

It does sound like a good topic for discussion on some other thread.

Would "mortal" be a better word choice than "mere" and still make the point?
