You showed your opinion that historical Christianity does not agree with, therfore it's Gnostic.
God did not give you a special revelation above Saints
Catholic teaching is not equivalent to historical Christianity.
There was no special revelation in the twisting of Scripture that was done to try to make the comparison between Mary and the Ark of the Covenant.
All that the Catholic church has done is demonstrate that it will stop at nothing, not even corrupting Scripture, to bolster its Mary doctrines and teaching.
Would Catholicism fall apart without Mary? It certainly appears that, based on the responses of Catholics on this thread, that if you took Mary out of the mix, Catholicism would crumble.
I find it very telling the fervor with which Mary is defended and the almost complete lack of mention of Jesus by the FRoman Catholics.

LOL! - We ARE the saints!

Oh?
I’d be very very hesitant to say such a thing even to a Roman Catholic I thought didn’t have a very authentic relationship with God.
GOD IS SOVEREIGN.
HE ROUTINELY
DOES ODD, UNUSUAL THINGS WITH INDIVIDUALS OF ALL KINDS.
—with Christians and with pagans.
—with mature Christians and with babes in Christ.
I’d think anyone who walked closely with HIM, would automatically KNOW that.
