consider making your point using scripture and people might believe you they don't really care what the Catholic Church preaches.Translation: That Catholic girl just beat the snot out of me and I have no good response.
Show some humility and admit you are wrong. There is no shame in that.
Now watch:

ALL Christians know that Mary is the mother of God. Classicaly, to "mother" is to bear, and to "father" is to originate. So Mary bore Jesus, divine and human, in her womb, and is rightly called Mother of God, or "God bearer" (Theotokos). She did not originate God, she bore him in her womb.
Remember what Elizabeth said: "And how has it happened to me, that the mother of my Lord would come to me?" (Luke 1:43). Who was the Lord to the Jews? God was.
The question then, would be whether @Idolater would agree if it is idolatrous.
Mary was as sinful as anyone else and was saved in the same way as her contemporaries.Mary: Mother of God

Luk 1:47 (KJV) And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.Mary was as sinful as anyone else and was saved in the same way as her contemporaries.
Our veneration of Mary is always always always in the context of the Trinity.
What does it look like to "set aside"? Does it mean that "hail Mary" is more often expressed, as often expressed, or just a little less often expressed than "Our Father...hallowed be thy name"?If anybody set aside Jesus and the Father and the Holy Spirit and only focused on Mary, then that would be different, but nobody does that,
What do you mean by that? Are you suggesting that we treat someone who isnt God almost like God?and if anybody did do that, they wouldn't be good Catholics. Our veneration of Mary is always always always in the context of the Trinity. There's a very fine line between Who is God and who is not.
"Mortal" meaning that she would die of her sins without Christ's atoning sacrifice?She is the God bearer, and the only one.
So that makes her special among all mortals, even among the Apostles and Prophets and John the Baptist, but she is still just a mortal.
