If Mary plays “ZERO” role in today’s world, was she wrong when she said “all generations will call me blessed (Luke 1:48).”

Jesus said John the Baptist was the greatest human being born up to his time. Yet Jesus says the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than John the Baptist on earth. (Mt 11:11) This is one of the reasons I cannot except the idea that believers have power through prayer on earth but then become powerless in Heaven until the General Resurrection.

But again, what is your interpretation of Jesus calling Mary “Woman” in John 19:26 and telling John that she is his “mother” in John 19:27?

My food gets 'blessed' before I eat it.

The answer to your question is, of course, no.

But it has ZERO to do with the false image the 'church' was put forward about Mary.

A red herring.
