Mary mother of God .. I don't understand why so many people can not understand what that means to catholics. What it seems to mean to some of you is blasphemy and would not be accepted in the catholic Church.
If you want to know the official stance on any aspect of catholic faith then I would suggest doing research on your own. All of official catholic writings are available in one form or another. Wolseley has given some links and I'll supplement those here with official writings and resources.

I would implore you all that have questions of the catholic Church to do some research, form educated opinions, and then ask away.
I would like to give you some personal thought on the view of Mary and the Saints.
I was depressed at one point in my life. I won't elaborate on the details , but I will say that I didn't have faith. In my depression I was helped by some very good people. Those people reinstated my hope in the goodness of humanity when my little corner of the world seemed lost. Those good people helped me. They did not have supernatural powers. They did not turn night into day. They did not make my problems miraculously disappear. They weren't even my friends. They were there only to help me.
Another thought is, I love my mother very much. When I need help I turn to my mother because I know she will always be there for me, no matter what path in life I take. I also feel that my mother has raised me well. Many of my traits are a direct result of her upbringing. She has become a sort of role model for me as well a purveyor of trusted advice. I think most people have a person in their life that they can trust and turn to. If that is not true than I pray that such people will enter your life.
I hope that was fairly clear though perhaps indirect and not very theological.
"I am not conscious of anything against me, but I do not thereby stand acquitted; the one who judges me is the Lord. Therefore, do not make any judgment before the appointed time, until the Lord comes, for he will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will manifest the motives of our hearts, and then everyone will rec
