[Semper Mark]

"...but was completely preserved from the original taint, and hence she was redeemed in a manner more sublime."

BTW - If Mary were here in the flesh....I'm sure that she would slap your face.

There's no more sublime manner to be redeemed than Christ's death on the cross.

I'm sure she would too. It wouldn't be for this though.

There's no more sublime manner to be redeemed than Christ's death on the cross.

Which is exactly how Our Lady was redeemed. Only in advance.

You actually think that it’s better to have sinned and be imputed as holy, than never to have sinned at all? To have committed evil, so that Christ must pay for that evil with his own agony and death, than never to have committed evil? Certainly, Christ’s show of love is far greater to we who are redeemed by his suffering and death, but how much more sublime it would have been if we had not killed him with our evil.
