Greetings
As a bit of an introduction, I am both a former Muslim and a former Atheist (I went from Islam to Atheism) who is contemplating converting to Catholicism. I have been studying a number of Catholic doctrines controversial among Protestants, have pretty much felt most of them can be fairly well defended. Regarding the Hail Mary specifically, I have concluded that most of it is Biblical, and there is nothing sinful about it within the Christian paradigm, since it is, essentially, asking Mary to pray for us (cf. James 5:16), and her being the Mother of the Believers (Revelation 12) makes her a good person to ask such.
Anyway, to refine my understanding of this issue (and other issues I have been studying), I have specifically seeked out debate with anti-Catholics. One objection by an anti-Catholic struck me as interesting: how can Mary hear mutliple requests (e.g. thousands, if not millions) which are uttered simultaneously? Can Catholic apologists address this issue for me?
