Ymmv, but definitely be careful with what you say and think about Jesus' Mom.

No problem!

Now Rome's created being it CALLS Mary?

That's a whole new ballgame!

As with many things, especially those supernatural things of God and Heaven to which I include Mother Mary in life and now after her death, my standard, truthful answer is: "I don't know."

Fortunately for me, I didn't grow up on either side of the Family Feud you guys seem to enjoy so much, and also fortunately for my soul, my ego is a bit easier to control now than it used to be.

To me, the need to be careful with what you say and think about Jesus' Mom is that you could be calling a Heaven sent good a bad or evil thing.

The anecdotal evidence of Mary and what She has given us throughout history and in our present times is compelling enough for me to give Her and those with experience with Her the benefit of doubt.

In this and other things, I truly think it's best not to give in to one's inner Pharisee's lawyerly ways.

The ego and its rational mind are too easily played, and never more so than in the heat of battle.
