It has been said by some that it won't be long before catholicism pro-claims Mary above Christ and that it is thru her alone we have salvation....doing so will unite various other religions who honor a female goddess or likeness to one...New Agers, Islam, Mormons, Buddists all have a "female" representative in one form or another....and over the past years catholicism has elevated her step by careful step....So I do believe this is quite possible with the direction catholicism is taking in todays world....and has been on the table for quite some time.
There is a very large contingent of Catholics who have been pushing its religious leaders to appoint Mary as the 4th part of the Trinity for some time now...And it can't be far away...
Especially in light of this.

The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin is a singular participation in her Son's Resurrection and an anticipation of the resurrection of other Christians:
In giving birth you kept your virginity; in your Dormition you did not leave the world, O Mother of God, but were joined to the source of Life. You conceived the living God and, by your prayers, will deliver our souls from death.507
. . . she is our Mother in the order of grace
The church already attributes to her power to deliver souls from death by her prayers. It's not a very big step from there.
