Rev. 12 has been used frequently on this thread. To date I have yet to see someone explain how it is not Mary.

then you haven't been reading so I'll repeat what I posted earlier.

Revelation 12:15-17 The serpent poured water like a river out of his mouth after the woman, to sweep her away with a flood. But the earth came to the help of the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed the river that the dragon had poured from his mouth. Then the dragon became furious with the woman and went off to make war on the rest of her offspring, on those who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus. And he stood on the sand of the sea.

This says the woman had other offspring.

Catholics say Mary was ever virgin and had no other children.

Unlike the male child destined to rule all nations, it does not identify how they became her children. Catholic Doctrine maintains that Mary is the mother of Catholics.
