Some might think that the infallible dogma of the Immaculate Conception glorifies Mary. Just the reverse. It tells the believer that Mary is merely human and subject to the contamination of original sin; this stain only removed by Father-god. If 'he' had not intervened, Mary would be contaminated with original sin. This dogma also lets the believer know that Mary is not the Great Goddess. The Great Goddess was not conceived. She had no parents. She always was. So Mary who was conceived and had named parents cannot be the Great Goddess who was not conceived. This is similar to the Book of John where Mary stands at the cross next to her sister. The Great Goddess, primordial mother of all, did not have parents or a sister. Thus Mary cannot be the Great Goddess who had no sister. So the myth re-making continues and She continues to be diminished. In the article the Pope says don't pray to her for easy favors. So now people can't even pray to her? Maybe not unless they bring flowers first.
