Mary was the Ark of the New Covenant -- carrying Christ within her womb. Of course, she was pure and sinless. Why would anyone ever doubt that?

You say this as if Christ remains contained by Mary; as the elements of remembrance are contained perpetually within the Ark of the Covenant. I take great offense to the statement that Jesus is who he is because he proceeds from Mary, and only because He does. He is not, and will never again be, a baby any longer. He is pre-eminent, pre-existent, and Lord of all things. This fact infinitely subordinates everything else into nothingness.

I take great offense to the statement that Jesus is who he is because he proceeds from Mary, and only because He does.

Catholic doctrine is that Jesus Christ, Risen Son of God Almighty through Mary, is fully man and fully God.

It would also mean Christ personally was “The New Covenant” and there is nowhere he is called that.

Much of the extravagant language about Mary comes from medieval writers seemingly trying to outdo each other in their eulogies attempting to allergorize every statement they found in the OT even to rewriting Scripture to do so.
