LAWTON: Still, those calling for more attention to Mary stop well short of adopting some Catholic beliefs. For example, most Protestants would not pray to Mary or consider her an intermediary with God.

Prof. GEORGE: The question of Marian intercession is one that the Bible doesn't speak to, and we probably don't need to get into that, because we have direct access to God through Jesus Christ, without necessarily going through the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Of course, Catholics believe that we have direct access to God through Jesus Christ. On the other hand, the Father sent us Jesus through the obedience of Mary.
