The Catholic church's official worship of Mary as savior

"St. Irenaeus says, she being obedient, became the cause of salvation for herself and for the whole human race. Hence not a few of the early Fathers gladly assert with him in their preaching ... 'death through Eve, LIFE THROUGH MARY.' This UNION OF THE MOTHER WITH THE SON IN THE WORK OF SALVATION is made manifest from the time of Christ's virginal conception up to his death" (Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, chap. 8, II, 56, pp. 380-381).


"Taken up to heaven she did not lay aside this saving office but BY HER MANIFOLD INTERCESSION CONTINUES TO BRING US THE GIFTS OF ETERNAL SALVATION. By her maternal charity, she cares for the brethren of her Son, who still journey on earth surrounded by dangers and difficulties, until they are led into their blessed home. Therefore the Blessed Virgin is invoked in the Church under the titles of ADVOCATE, HELPER, BENEFACTRESS, and MEDIATRIX" (Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, chap. 8, II, 62, pp. 382-383).


A plaque in the Chapel of the Virgin of the Grace at Saints Vincent and Anastasius Church in Rome says, "Cardinal Benedetto Odescalchi, who became the pope with the name of Innocent XI, initiated THE WORSHIP OF THE IMAGE, placed on the altar in 1677, and wanted his heart to be buried here, not in the main chapel."

Mary was integral to how things went down, leading up the Resurrection. It's undeniable. When did He perform His first miracle, revealing to everybody Who He is? Why? Undeniable. She was told, "Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women," and, "Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb," and, "Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. 31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. 32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: 33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end," and, "The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God" (who would then be the mother of God?). Her spouse Joseph was told, "Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. 21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins."

"Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word." I think all Israel was represented in her faith, but that's just a thought/opinion, which are like garbage cans; everybody's got at least one, and they all stink. :D

1. Get your facts straight.
2. You said you're not Catholic.

Joseph was the one who showed great faith. Because of the pregnancy outside of marriage Joseph would have been justified in just walking away.
