God chose Mary above all women to bear His son. Our Lord hung on her every word as a child. She prepared him for his role as Saviour of the world. She acts as his messenger. We Catholics ask for her intercession. We don’t worship her. We honor her as we do our own mothers.

That part is true...

Everything else there was made yp by your religion...

That's right. She had the right blood lines and lived in the right time and place for prophecy to be fulfilled.

It had nothing to do with her intrinsic character. That was fabricated centuries later when someone decided that she needed to be sinless.

You have statues of her in your house?

You light candles before her and pray to her and bow down before her statue?

Thanks for your polite and sincere post.

I am curious, do you think Mary is a co-redeemer with Jesus?
