--I hate to burst you're bubble man. I'm sure Mary was a great woman. However, according to Matthew 11:11 she was no greater than John the Baptist. Jesus said, "I tell you the truth: Among those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist."
--The truth is man, the catholic religion has exalted both of them way too high. Both were sinners.
--Romans 3:9 says, "Jews and Gentiles alike are all under sin. 10As it is written: 'There is no one righteous, not even one;'
--Romans 3:23 says, "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God"
--I have read the new testament several times. Mary isn't nearly as big a figure as John the Baptist, James, John, Peter, Paul, and others.
--I encourage you to read the new testament for yourself and conclude how great mary was. Listen to the Bible, not what some man says.

Yes, but I am supposing she would be modest to the point of not wanting that blessed virgin title used all the time (though she was), and definitely would not approve of being made into an object of worship - so far as I can tell most statues and such I've seen are not close to being an accurate portrayal of her.

Trimorphic Protennoia
"He perpetuated the Father of all Aeons, who am I, the Thought of the Father, Protennoia, that is, Barbelo, the perfect Glory, and the immeasurable Invisible One who is hidden. I am the Image of the Invisible Spirit, and it is through me that the All took shape, and (I am) the Mother (as well as) the Light which she appointed as Virgin, she who is called 'Meirothea', the incomprehensible Womb, the unrestrainable and immeasurable Voice.
Then the Perfect Son revealed himself to his Aeons, who originated through him, and he revealed them and glorified them, and gave them thrones, and stood in the glory with which he glorified himself. They blessed the Perfect Son, the Christ, the only-begotten God. And they gave glory, saying, "He is! He is! The Son of God! The Son of God!"
You guys (Peter; "Catholics") heard logos talking about his "virgin mother" and you took it literally as you did so many things. Mother of the logos is the virgin Sophia. It's cosmic you see.
