Your post only confirms what so many of us non-Catholics have known for centuries, at least since the Bible was made available to the common man, Romanists care not a whit for truth.

A simple glance at a concordance, looking up the word “Mary,” for instance. One mention of her in the entire 28 chapters of the Acts of the Apostles. And, in that singular passage she is included with the apostles, “the women,” and “with his brethren (Jesus’ brothers),” Acts 1:13, 14, all “continuing with one accord in prayer and supplication.”

Obviously, she is no different from the rest of us, she has to seek God like the rest of us. She needed the Holy Spirit like the rest of us. Moreover, with all the importance placed on her by Romanists, why is she not listed first?

The apostles are listed in importance before her, even “the women” are. Romanists consider Mary the greatest among women, here womankind precedes her.

This, the ONLY mention of her in Acts. Where’s the Mariolatry in Acts?

“Obviously, she is no different from the rest of us”

Funny, I did a keyword search and she comes up 52 times

Jesus comes up 1310 times.
David comes up 974 times.
Jacob comes up 363 times.
Solomon comes up 272 times.
Both Josephs come up 248 times.
Paul comes up 239 times
Abraham comes up 235 times.
Peter comes up 178 times
All the Johns come up 121 times.
Elijah comes up 105 times
Elisha comes up 103 times.

Mary comes up 52 times.

That’s it. That’s the entire list of names that come up more frequently than Mary.

Are you telling me this list is just ‘ordinary’ people?

It's in the post script of the Letter - written in chapter 15.
