Wrong you can have a better connection to God more than a priest

how do they?

I still struggle to strengthen my relationship with Jesus sometimes

i know, im asking if froshe does

Because they have dedicated their life to service and undergone the sacrament of holy orders.

if you have stopped at dedicate their lfie.. I may agree

Many battles, many losses, few victories

but then you went on to holy orders

but anyone can dedicate their life to god

Mary is the mother of Jesus who was both God and man. God exists both before and after Mary

While He was still talking to the multitudes, behold, His mother and brothers stood outside, seeking to speak with Him. Then one said to Him, “Look, Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, seeking to speak with You.” But He answered and said to the one who told Him, “Who is My mother and who are My brothers?” And He stretched out His hand toward His disciples and said, “Here are My mother and My brothers! For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.”
Matthew 12:46‭-‬50

mary also right? did she exist before ?

catholics teach that without mary- there owuld be NO jesus lol

Ok m not sure that’s entirely accurate

Jesus used Mary it didn’t need to be Mary in particular

Pope Francis, You would not have Jesus without Mary, so why do you want to have Jesus without Mary?”

But it was her on purpose. Just like god has a plan for all of us he had a plan for Mary long before she was a part of our world

The fact is you wouldn’t have Jesus without Mary. I agree that it didn’t have to be her, but it was her and God had that plan long before she was born

In a way then it did have to be her. Because that was always gods plan

God chose her

He made her to be the mother of his only begotten son

You would still have Jesus without Mary. God could have chosen anyone. But he chose Mary. The person who gives birth to Jesus does not matter.

was mary without sin froshe?

No

Jesus is Jesus no matter who his earthly mother is

thats anothoer catolic teaching

Jesus was the only human to ever be without sin

No but it’s the father who passes down sin the father was the Holy Spirit for Mary

I think you are misconstruing the Catholic Church a bit.

https://www.catholic.com/magazine/print-edition/hail-mary-conceived-without-sin

she never sinned

im an ex catholic too

That’s true lol

Dude read the article it says she was saved like the rest of us

I thought it said Mary was conceived without sin lol

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 6:23

no it says she was saved from sinning

and she never sinned

Okay I’m reading in more detail give me a minute

"jesus" was born and lived a sinless life-- not mary.. giving credit to mary for not sinning and placing her as mother of god. .is ridiculous

no prob
