And??? How does that show that she has any role in intercessing for us? It's not there. It tells us that she is favored of God, but to say that leads her to helping us is a strech.

Your answer is in the 2 transcripts I posted above re: Mary. Please read then we can discuss.

My point is that the demand that everything be proved from Scripture is too small a philosophy or methodology and is in itself a non-Biblical hermeneutic. Scripture's silence cannot prove anything one way or the other. But a certain kind of protestant who insists that everything be in Scripture has a very difficult time addressing any subject not literally covered by the Scriptures.

Nonetheless, the Church who has been endowed with authority by Christ himself is able to take up the Scriptures and the sacred memory of the Church and present the Truth for all to see and learn.
