[Petronski]

You did not merely quote Scripture, you said "No where does makarizo ever mean exalted, or greater in stature, as you catholics interpret 'blessed' in this passage. Keep laughing, you obviously don't know Greek..."

Thayer's has:

G3106 μακαρίζω
makarizō
mak-ar-id'-zo
From G3107; to beatify, that is, pronounce (or esteem) fortunate: - call blessed, count happy.

Compare that to your false claim: "It means happy. That's it...."

[Petronski]

That’s Strong, not Thayer.

Hmmm seems Thayer disagrees with Strong's. Strong's does not mention beatify, or prounounce fortunate anywhere for Makarizo, so I did not present anything false. Thayer also disagrees with an online Greek word study Here which also never mentions beatify, or pronounce fortunate in its defintions, long or short.

I concede I may have to look up Thayer's. But since Thayer's adds a meaning that neither Strong's or other Greek word studies include make it somewhat suspect as to reliability in my opinion. I have a suspicion it is probably a Catholic word study with additions to seek to support Maryology. So who is 'false' here is a matter of opinion. But I will look it up. In spite of this; however, your definition states:

From G3107; to beatify, that is, pronounce (or esteem) fortunate: - call blessed, count happy,

Even Thayer's definition does not mean to make a Co-Savior, or to make 'Queen of all things' or to 'make intercession' as your cathechism states. In addition, even Thayer's does include the term 'happy' as I said, so I was not wrong in my statement (and Strong's) that it means happy. And it is translated 'happy' in James 5:11 in the KJV. Makarizo is not translated beatify, or pronounced fortunate in James 5:11 in any version - why?
