Reading the bible is wonderful and I hope you make time to read it at the very least once per year. You will not find much about Mary in there though. The more you read it, I hope, the more your thinking will align with what you find in there. I would even hope that after reading through it several times you might start asking some of those difficult questions of your Catholic "Priests" and teachers.

Please understand that everytime I strayed away from the Catholic Church, something brought me back. I know that those who hold a grudge with my church believe that there is a better way. When I have searched for the better way, I was always brought back.
My dad, who was a very wise man, told me a long time ago to cover all my bases. "If some other denomination wants to pray for you, don't overlook it. They may be right but only God knows that." He died at 52 when I was only 21 years old. He covered all his bases before he died. I have to believe that this man who went on his lunch hour to help feed adult retarded patients and always smiled for everyone, was not pushed out of heaven because he prayed a rosary in the afternoon.

With all due respect, "Catholic thinking" aligns perfectly with Scripture. Unfortunately, you don't think much of the guarantees that Christ made to Peter, and the promise that He would be with His Church until the end of time.
