>>Why is there no tomb of Mary? Why are there no relics of her body? Why are these never even mentioned in history?<<

She was totally irrelevant. Not one mention of her in any writings of the apostles or even secular. Take a hint Catholics.

Why would thieves and crooks bother with anyone so irrelevant?

My tag line hints that Jesus is not even “of” her in a certain sense. Yes Jesus was carried and delivered by Mary, but not “of” her. This truth makes Marians crazy.

If she was so irrelevant, why do St. Matthew and St. Luke make such a big deal out of her?

“The Almighty has done great things for me.”

“All generations will call me blessed.”

Yeah. Real irrelevant.

The Mother of God is unimportant?

Elizabeth didn’t think so. “Who am I that the mother of my Lord should come to me?”

“Lord”=”God”

The Mother of God. Unimportant?
