LOL! Is that how it is in the Roman church? How much then are you willing to cast aside in order to protect what is ultimately just another 'needless' tradition?

I saw your post right before heading back to work, and felt compelled to give you a quick response.
When the Bible (Matthew 3) says that John the Baptist was baptizing for the "confession of sins" and "repentence", and Jesus insisted on being baptized by John, was that because Jesus had to confess any sins, or repent of anything? Did Jesus "need" to be baptized, or was there another purpose for his choosing to do that "needless" action, and be baptized by John the Baptist?
many sacrifices and other such rites are offered out of respect for tradition, not necessarily out of need.I have figured out that the Catholic Tradition is like Another Gospel, ala the LDS Book of Mormon.LOL!

Like the LDS, the Catholic Other Gospel is more important and more correct than the Bible.
the discussion concerned Mary's need to offer a sacrifice for atonement....the fact that she may or may not have offered a sacrifice does not mean that she had need to do so. Sacrifices and other symbolic activities were, in those days, somewhat only symbolic. While most people were certainly in need of atonement, Mary was not.
