Do Catholics make too much of Mary? That’s the accusation we often hear. A Protestant commenter says Luke 1:42 itself settles it: Mary is blessed AMONG women — not ABOVE them — so Catholics should stop elevating her. In this episode, Kenny Burchard (a former Protestant pastor who used to make arguments like this) opens the Bible and walks through 10+ passages that show what “among” language actually does in Scripture — including in passages where God Himself is praised as “among the gods.”
