Mary is deprecated and insulted by those who envy her devotion and obedience to Christ.
In high-school terms, she makes it harder on everyone else by “blowing the curve.”

Hogwash.
A lot of the Prottys I know don’t think Mary ‘blows the curve’ at all.
We see her as more or less equal to a lot of other Bible believing Christians in Scripture and since.
It’s not Prottys who have the Fantastical Mary Elevation Syndrome.

BTW, We don’t deprecate the authentic Mary.
Some of us seek to sherd wholesale the charaicature the RC edifice has turned her into. . . . as she would most likely do were she to be in bodily earthly form again in our era.

I don’t see anyone here who envies her devotion and obedience to Christ. That’s just not true, Petronski. We don’t elevate her like Catholics do, but we call her blessed for her obedience to Him.
