You haven't provided a Scripture to show that Mary is dead, so you have no Biblical basis for your opinion. It is just your own brand of extra-Biblical speculation.

"You haven't provided a Scripture to show that Mary is dead"

Or Paul? How about Joseph? Or Mary Magdalene, or pilate?

Are they all still alive? or were they all caught up? - Inquiring minds want to know!

Does this pass for Catholic Doctrinal standards. It isn't mentioned in scripture it didn't happen?? I can live with that the assumption never happened..there was no "prayers " to the dead..there was no mass...yep if we do theology by omission you all are in heap big trouble:>)

That has to be one of the dumbest things I have seen. But it may help clarify why Mary can be an intercessor for your prayers. Heck, if she isn't dead, because we can't prove that common sense point from the Bible. She is either still alive, or God took her up to be with him because she was blessed among women. Anyone that special must be able to be an intercessor for our prayers. You guys are absolutely right.
