Those who see the relationship between Jesus and Mary who are Catholic will likely see Mary as divineCatholics see Mary as the first Christian, the first follower of Jesus, the one who said 'yes' to God and cooperated with the Holy Spirit - not divine, that is a Protestant misunderstanding of Catholicism.

Thank you. Now I do not have to post about the Catholic understanding of Mary.

Thanks for your clarification of the Catholic view of Mary. Indeed, she was a human, not divine. But, she was the chosen woman of God; she who became the Mother of the Son of God! There is nothing any of us, whether Catholic or Protestant, can do regarding Mary that will ever amount to the honor that God gave to her in this role.
