Well, let's look at some of the so called "proof texts".

>>The key Scripture verse is Genesis 3:15, in which the Lord says that He will put enmity between Satan and the “woman,”<<

Just who was this "woman" that verse is referring to? The "woman" is Eve not Mary. The offspring is Jesus who will crush Satan's head not Mary as the Catholic bible states. Inserting Mary in that verse is fiction and corruption.

>>Therefore, Mary, who shared in her Son’s victory over Satan<<

Not once in all of scripture does it teach of Mary sharing in her Son's victory. To give the glory that belongs to Christ alone is blasphemy.

>>By a special favor granted to her by her Lord and Savior, Mary indeed did triumph over sin in her Immaculate Conception.<<

Once again giving attributes to Mary that belong to Christ alone. Blasphemy!

>> there is Luke 1:28, since her bodily assumption is a natural consequence of her being “full of grace.”<<

The problem is that Luke 1:28 does NOT say that Mary was "full of grace" as has been shown many times in these threads.

>>Already in the sixth century there were liturgical feasts dedicated to Mary’s Assumption.<<

Unbelievable!!! Already in 96AD when John wrote Revelation we see that 86% of the churches included error that Christ said would cause Him to reject them. Invoking age of belief surely is no assurance of correctness of belief.

>>Some maintain that she did not die, because her Immaculate Conception freed her from the effects of original sin, including death. Others maintain that it would have been fitting for her to die, so that she could be fully conformed to Christ her Son. Thus she freely accepted death in order to more fully associate herself with her Son’s redemption<<

They can't even agree on whether they believe she died or not!!!

The entire beliefs of the Catholic Church regarding Mary are established on corruption of scripture, adding to scripture, and created fiction.
