The Immaculate Conception.

Only Jesus was born without sin.

Mary is not co-redeemer.

She cannot answer our prayers like Catholic prayers ask her to.

I never said that Mary ascended herself. But there’s no Scripture to indicate that she never died but rather was assumed.

Why is Mary so important to the Catholic faith? We have all we need in Jesus. What’s the point in adding more?

The fact that some are intellectually incapable of understanding the Immaculate Conception DOES NOT make it invalid.

Mary is not co-redeemer.

The Church has never said she was.

The Hail Mary asks her to pray for us, not answer prayers.

There's no Scripture saying she didn't.

Catholics simply do and our Lord told us on the Cross.
