No, of course not. America fundementalists believe everything that is said to them about the Catholics. You know, your grace. They talk about how to block Catholics with the Pope in March, but they are more likely to go along with his ministers for questioning that day are all Catholics.

Mary was not divine. I thought that Catholics believe, because of the extra books added to their bible, known Apacrifa (I've written worse) and it states accended Mary to Heaven.

If someone was ignorant enough to believe that only informed them about how wrong they were. All they can learn from this survey is whether or not someone is stupid. You can not reask note what the Catholic Church teaches about Mary in reality. The results probibly be more informative, but who knows, I've been wrong before.
Catholic belief to ask the saints, including Mary, to pray with you for the support of God (2 Maccabees 15:11, 12, 14). 12:12 Tobias Angel Tobias gave a prayer to God, and God answered through the angel of Tobit 12:14. Luke 16:19-31, the parable about Lazarus and the rich, please read and note that the rich man goes to Abraham.
1 Corinthians 12:12-27 describes how they all depend on others for help. Revelation 6:9-11, 5:6-8, 8:3-4 also support Catholic beliefs about prayer to saints including Mary. There is also the basic concept of logic, if we pray for life itself, why the death put an end to this capacity?
I understand that some of the biblical quotes that I have not found in Protestant Bibles. Luther went to the Hebrew canon, and not the (higher?) Alexandrine canon that Catholics use, and Jesus quoted from time to time.
If Catholics do read the Bible. Almost the entire Bible is read at 3 years, if the parish follows the directives of the Vatican and not retain the biblical readings of the faithful. It also encourages Catholics to read the Bible on their own.

I believe that the Catholic religion perpetuates this belief, as put more emphasis on Mary and pray with her, even when the Bible says clearly that we only pray to God in the name of Jesus Christ. N where the Bible says we should pray to anyone else nor condone such action. Nobody can mediate between you and God Jesus Christ, but himself as everybody else is in the same situation as the rest of us. We are all sinners and fall short of the glory of God and not come to God except through Christ.

Mary was a human being, but there are distinctions about Mary that are unique to their role as Mother of the Divine Savior. Moreover, as St. Paul says we are joint heirs with Christ, who have an interest in his divinity. We believe that Mary is a member of the Holy Communion of Saints, co-heirs with Christ and being in possession of that sublime spiritual union with the Trinity, and indeed of the divine order in heaven.
Mary as Mother of Christ, was given the gift of motherhood and virginity in the conception without sin. In this way the Lord was able to go into a place worthy of his divinity. Mary is a supreme tent, a shed of the Divine glory.
2Peter, San Pedro says:
1:2. Thank you and have peace in the knowledge of God and Christ Jesus our Lord.
1:3. Like all things of his divine power belonging to life and godliness are given us through knowledge of what he has called for his own glory and virtue.
1:4. For those who have given us most great and precious promises: that by which they may become partakers of the divine nature: the corruption of that concupiscence which is flying in the world.
Lucas:
1:28. And the angel goes, told her: Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
According to the angel, Mary, who was full of grace, and participation in the divine nature in the Incarnation.

I am not a Catholic (which used to be).
Mary is not, and not divine.
She is a person worthy of admiration for the manner in which magnifies their sacred calling as the Mother of Jesus Christ.
Only Christ has been and still is divine.

If you are wondering about my response, I said "So after giving birth, according to human nature, the person of Jesus, a divine person, Mary is the Mother of God."
I was implying that Jesus was "divine" Mary and I disagree with that Catholicism does not teach that the way
