Both the Catholic and the Orthodox Churches hold Mary in high regard.
AnswerBecause she is the mother of Jesus.
The Catholic Church's teaching on mariology emphasizes the unique role of Mary as the Mother of Jesus and her special place in the life of the Church. This includes her title as the Mother of God (Theotokos), her perpetual virginity, and her assumption into heaven. Catholics honor and venerate Mary as a model of faith and obedience.
I don't think she has any special status other than a devotee of God.
Mary in the mother of Jesus, not of God.
Mary is our mother in the Roman Catholic Church.
Mary is the Mother of God, Jesus Christ. She was conceived without Original Sin.
Because she is the Mother Of the Church.
Because Mary is the New Mother Of All Living, as the Mother Of God & Mother Of His Church.
No, Mary is only in the Catholic Church. They do acknowledge she was the mother of Jesus, but do not worship her.
The Church teaches that Mary deserves more honour than any other Saint, because she is the Mother Of God.
The Catholic Church has never worshiped Mary. They worship God alone.
