Perhaps no other woman in history played such an important role in
God's plan as did Mary.
By the
grace of God she was greatly honored to be chosen as Jesus' mother. Surly, all
people should appreciate Mary and imitate her good qualities.
Nevertheless,
there is disagreement regarding the role or status of Mary. This issue remains
one of the main differences between the Roman Catholic Church and other
churches.
The
purpose of this study is to examine the view held by the Roman Catholic Church
regarding Mary and compare it to the teaching of the Bible.
