You have a major problem here, what authority do you have to give Mary a title that God has not given her? What evidence do you have that Mary delivers prayers to Jesus? At least you said, "we give her the title Mediatrix," because there is nothing in the word to give her such a title. I mean absolutely no disrespect, but it seems that you have taken it upon yourself to make things up to satisfy your own doctrine rather than confining yourself to just God's word.
@Concatenate Evidence: The feast of Cana, Jesus rewards those who ask Him through His mother. Further, what evidence do you have that the Bible is the *only* means that God used to give us his doctrine.
When this question comes up I usually say that are we not called to follow Jesus example? Catholic honor and revere Mary as Jesus did. And as Jesus also did we talk to her with love but her desire is always to lead us to her son Jesus.
you know another great point to make is "honor they father and mother" and the son of God most certainly would have obeyed this command, and should we not honor what Christ honored? :)
@perkypink Also let us recall that, "And He returned to Nazareth and was obedient to them and grew in favor with God and man and his mother heald al these things in her heart." Lk 2:51
I love this series! Thank you for teaching about Our Lady. Typology is one of my favorite ways of understanding the bigger picture of the entire bible and Our Fathers plan for our salvation. Peace be with you and God bless you!

bottom line, the Maternity of Mary is a Grace FROM GOD, you can either accept this grace or refuse it.

Finally I've found someone who can explain things in our faith with evidence and logic to back it up.

Thank you! I've been locking horns with a friend of mine that objects to Catholics venerating Mary. Pax et Bonum!
