Put in this way: My expectation, should you and I meet before the throne, is that, because I am full of myself, I will babble on at length about all the stuff I didn't know that turned out to be true. You will finally shut me up and say, "You know, Mary IS more than I thought, praise God."
I will say that I believed what God saw fit to put in the bible about Mary and I have no other opinion. I know it comes as a shock to many, but I don't believe Jesus, as fully God, cares more about Mary than He does anyone else. Everyone of us, including her, is His child and that's it
Matthew 12:
46 While he was still speaking to the crowds, his mother and his brothers appeared outside, wishing to speak with him.
47 (Someone told him, "Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, asking to speak with you.")
48 But he said in reply to the one who told him, "Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?"
49 And stretching out his hand toward his disciples, he said, "Here are my mother and my brothers.
50 For whoever does the will of my heavenly Father is my brother, and sister, and mother."

Plus we know that God is no respecter of persons.And per the bible, Mary is just that, a humble Jewish girl who served as the means for Jesus to manifest as human.
Catholics have it backwards: the earth and everything in it, including humble Jewish girls, were created by Christ. Mary did not create Christ. She is nothing more than a human vehicle to give him humanity, andbeing God, he really didn't even have to do it that way if he chose no to.
He is eternal, he was begotten before creation, before the Plan of Salvation.
to make Mary into the Roman invention, she must have titles and a new theology invented.She must also be pre-existent, the reason for creation, etc. etc., the firstborn of every creature, the fused soul with the Holy Spirit. This makes her superior to everyone but God the Father, and she is pretty much equal to Him from what I can determine. His love and pathos is ignored,even though it is revealed to mankind in the scriptures, but her supposed love of mankind, which is the invention of Rome and of men, has become the new focal point.
