You both asked the same question. What did Mary contribute?

Scripture tells us she contributed her human nature to Jesus along with His lineage from David so that He could be both man and God, and so He would fulfill the prophecies of Scripture.

Those truths are in complete contrast to what Rome teaches...

The Blessed Virgin Mary is to be called Queen not only on account of her divine motherhood but also because by the will of God she had a great part in the work of our salvation. . . . In this work of redemption the blessed Virgin Mary was closely associated with her Christ. . . . Just as Christ, because he redeemed us, is by a special title our King and Lord, so too is Blessed Mary, our Queen and our Mistress, because of the unique way in which she co-operated in our redemption. She provided her very substance for his body, she offered him willingly for us, and she took a unique part in our salvation by desiring it, praying for it, and so obtaining it. . . . - - Ad Coeli Reginam, pope Pius XII

Except for the first example, Elaine Benis had the right answer...

"Fake...Fake....Fake...Fake."

(Also note even Pius XII says "according to the will of God" she was chosen, and not according to "the will of Christ," as some here have wrongly stated.)

I'm ashamed that I know the reference...

Is there anything in that comment you wish to revise?
