fantrl Mary was born without original sin by the grace of God, so that she could be a pure vessel to deliver God. As the mother of God, we honor her. Everyone should honor Mary for saying Yes to God. /sigh... I know I'm going to regret this.
Why is Mary more special than the rest of us? She did her part in God's plan, the same as we do our part. I mean, not to diminish what she did (would you like having God for a kid?), but how is it any more special than, say one of us following God's call to where He wants us to be?
[EDIT] Oh, in case anyone was wondering, I actually want to know the answer to this. I have been wondering about this for a while and felt that, considering the discussion (and a resident catholic already checking the thread), that might as well ask it.

I have been wondering about this for a while and felt that, considering the discussion (and a resident catholic already checking the thread), that might as well ask it. I'm a supporter of creating a thread on Mary. This thread doesn't seem appropriate for it, so if you could create a thread about Mary in the debate forum, I'd be happy to answer any questions to the best of my ability. Being only 16 without any catechesis (I grew up in a liberal Catholic home and church which was basically mainline Protestant), I might not give an adequate response.
