Dear Friends in Jesus and Mary,

It's always about Mary somehow. Gotta work her in there.

It's as if catholics think Jesus cannot on His own get anything done.

Did Paul ever, ever include Mary in His letters to the various churches?????

NO! Why? Because it was all about Christ to him as it should be.

Catholic worship of mary knows no ends.

“Did Paul ever, ever include Mary in His letters to the various churches?????”

NO. Which is why they hang out in the Gospels, spoken primarily to Jews and not post-Resurrection believers. Paul wrote a disproportionate number of NT letters but he upsets so many peoples’ apple carts they pretend he’s a minor character.

“I’ll take Jesus over Paul!” Problem is Jesus IS giving updates for Christians through Paul.

Nor did the Holy Spirit ever mention Mary after Acts 1 (not in Rv. 12 either), but neither did he teach ensured perpetual magisterial infallibility; praying to created beings in Heaven; the priesthood ; Cath Mariolatry ; clerical celibacy; purgatory ; hindering personal Bible reading; a separate class of believers called “saints, a hierarchical order of priests, bishops, Cardinals, etc., with ostentatious religious dress and titles; teaching that the deity Muslims worship (not as unknown) is the same as theirs;

But autocratic entities who presume Divine attributes define reality according to what they say it is. Something about the only Divine evidence to us of what was primitive what the Church says at this hour

You are correct that is was all about Christ to Paul. Why would Paul write about Mary?

Do we know if Paul ever met Mary, or if he even knew anything about her?
