Converts to Catholicism don’t always immediately understand how important Mary is. Those who leave Catholicism are puzzled that other denominations don’t understand how important Mary is. Over time, it becomes more apparent than vanity keeps many from understanding Mary’s importance.
Over time, Catholic saints and scholars learned, by revelation and reason, that Mary, the Mother of God, had to be a perfect vessel. During the last twenty centuries, The Church let it be understood that Mary was created at the beginning, and given a power unknown to all the other creatures, both spiritual and human.
Why doesn’t everyone realize this? It may be that failing to learn and understand at least a little about Mary is being stopped by a bar. It can only be surmounted by those who’ve brought enough of their vanity under control to realize that the Mother of God is now, always has been, and always will be, cherished, beloved, and heeded by Her Son.
Vanity keeps many from understanding Mary’s importance.
