Mary is the chosen daughter of the Heavenly Father, mother of the Divine Son and spouse of the Holy Spirit. She is the Queen of Heaven according to the teaching of the Catholic Church. If God honored her so highly, we need not hesitate to honor her, provided we do not give her divine honor which belongs to God alone. From on the cross, Christ gave her to us as our Mother. She is able and ever ready to help us.
Wrong, Jesus was in her womb and He cannot be associated with sin. In other words Jesus does not come from sin, He is either perfect or imperfect there is no in between.
Jesus honored her, so should we.
As a quick edit, there are several humans who were assumed into Heaven, some of us did achieve perfection but for most, it is too difficult.
The real question, unanswered by 2000 years of theology, is HOW it came to be that Mary's womb was sanctified, such that it belonged to God and not the Enemy.
IMO, the answer to that is embedded in the rather unusual history of women and of sons in the old testament, which shows that progressively, God laid conditions to be able to claim the womb, despite Mary being a descendent of fallen Adam and Eve.
Look at Sarah, Rebeccah, Rachel, Jacob, Esau, also Tamar, etc.
Note also, Jesus was born pure, but not perfect. He lived his life in accordance with God's direction, and grew into full perfection and maturity.
"For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings."
See that would be heresy cause someone can learn the truth yes but Jesus IS truth.
He is either God or He is not. Catholics and Christians believes He is the way and the Truth. No man can be what He is.
Basically Mary and the foster father Joseph were as close to sinless as humanly possible which is why God chose them to raise Jesus. They were the only ones who could do it.

She was human and sinful like all of us. She would be upset with people putting her on a pedestal.
