The Virgin Mary
Roman Catholicism has a unique belief in Mary, the virgin mother of Jesus. Most Christian religions believe that Mary was a virgin and gave birth to the One who would be the Son of God. Catholicism takes this a step further. One example is that she was visited nightly by angels as a child in the temple, showing the early interest God had in her. Another example is that Catholics believe that she was born and lived without sin. Because of this, she never really physically died and was raised straight into heaven. The last example is that she never had children before and after Jesus was born. Most Christian religions believe in this first part; Catholics are the only ones to believe the latter. Because of this, Catholics believe Mary is almost as much of a God-like figure as Jesus is, however is not truly in the ranks of a God.

I think that this is really interesting how Catholics are the only religion to have different views on the Virgin Mary. This is also a good connections between Catholicism and other forms of Christianity.
I agree with Caroline, I think that it is very intriguing when hearing about how different religions think different things about the same topic. You did a really good job!
I never knew how much the Virgin Mary means to this religion, I think that's really interesting.
