Some References included in the text like:

could be offensive to people that venerate the Blessed Virgin Mary.

I feel sorry for that, but we have to respect other's opinion, we have to respect who put those references. --User:Joaquín Martínez, talk 23:21, 10 May 2007 (EDT) --User:Joaquín Martínez, talk 21:06, 10 May 2007 (EDT)--User:Joaquín Martínez, talk 20:50, 10 May 2007 (EDT)

I removed the first source as I found a better Protestant source. Secondly, the "Cult of Mary" articles are from a world wide known Protestant preacher and reflects many Protestants views. I don't think we have to respect Catholics by squelching Protestant views. Conservative 20:58, 10 May 2007 (EDT)

For a better understanding I have found a link that explains the Protestant point of view but without offending Catholic faith. See: http://www.eich.com/allan/Catholics%20and%20Protestants%20believe.htm --User:Joaquín Martínez, talk 09:24, 14 May 2007 (EDT)

This is the image of Virgin Mary removed by User:Conservative:

The reason:

Conservative: I am sorry but as a protestant I think we need to have more neutral pictures.

Can't we have more neutral pictures that protestants and catholics could agree on. How about another nice madonna picture or a picture of mary at the crucifixion? Conservative 22:46, 10 May 2007 (EDT)

I don't think the catholic and orthodox views should be put at the very top of the article and the protestant views be put way down at the bottom of the article

I don't think the catholic and orthodox views should be put at the very top of the page and the protestant views be put way down at the bottom of the page. This is not a site which has to squelch the protestant view or relegate them to the very bottom of pages. I moved the protestant views closer to the top of the article near the catholic and orthodox views.Conservative 21:27, 16 May 2007 (EDT)

I vote to rename the page (misleading title)

Mary was not always a virgin, just when she had Jesus. Mary had other children as well. The title makes it sound like she was always a virgin. Rather I would have something like "Mary (mother of Jesus)" as a title. --Ymmotrojam 00:27, 2 June 2007 (EDT)

Question

What does veneration mean?? --Steve 18:30, 22 February 2008 (EST)

"Her" in reference to Mary is capitalized?

This highly implies that Mary is at the same rank as Jesus or God. I don't agree with it. Does anyone have a reference or substantiation for capitalizing "her"? PhyllisS 18:38, 28 August 2009 (EDT)

Good point. The NAB, the official Catholic Bible version, does not capitalize this pronoun. See, e.g., Luke 1:28 ("Mary said, 'Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word.' Then the angel departed from her." But I'm not sure modern Bibles capitalize pronouns for Jesus either!--Andy Schlafly 18:47, 28 August 2009 (EDT)
The New American Standard Version actually does capitalize "him" with reference to Jesus, in this snippet of John: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+2&version=NASB I don't know - is the New American STANDARD Version different from the New American Version?
