Mary, Mother of Jesus a topic of discussion that can go on for hours. Looking into how the Church views Mary; Blessed Virgin, Blessed Mother, Holy Mother, Holy Queen, Mother of Christ, Intercessor … Intercessor … you said WHAT ABOUT MARY?

A friend of mine posted a quote from a CNN article, and then asked a very serious question. “He saved technology from itself. He stopped it from being scary to a mass audience.
