And from this mediation of a person on earth for a friend you derive that Mary somehow can mediate between you and Jesus in heaven? Chapter and verse? If it is NOT in the Bible (and of course, it isn't) then we have no authority on which to debate.
Mary is not the wife of God? Says you. Of course, you are not the one who determines this, so your thoughts are inconsequential regarding this. It is quite interesting that God treated Her as one would treat a spouse. He shared His life-giving seed with Her and brought forth life from Her womb. Sounds like a wife to me in every facet of the meaning.

She is the Queen of Heaven and quite worthy, by the sheer grace of God which made Her worthy, to receive our prayers and offer them to Her divine Son as petitions for our good. She is the New Eve, for just as Jesus in His humanity is the Last Adam, replacing Adam the first, so the Blessed Virgin is the New Eve.

Jesus, being God, requires NO intermediaries between Himself and Man! Depends on how you mean the word "intermediaries".

The corresponding union between God and man is the Blessed Sacrament of the Eucharist, where Christ God gives to us His own Flesh and Blood, thus pouring His divine life into us and becoming "one flesh" with us as HIS BRIDE.

Those who reject the Catholic Faith by claiming that the Church apostacized from the Truth do a very great insult to the veracity of Christ and His faithfulness to His Bride the Church.

Will gladly discuss every verse that "prove" your points. Thanks!
