Jesus didn't start the catholic church. And to clarify what you said, you now believe Mary is perfect?
If she is perfect, she is not human. Multiple passages speak of human sin nature, and that not even one of us is good. In Mark 10:18, Jesus Himself said nobody is good, only God / the Father in heaven. Here is how various translations translate that passage. https://www.biblegateway.com/verse/en/Mark%2010:18
Some people leave the church for other reasons than those you cited.
Well perfect may not be the right word but Catholics do believe she is without sin. It’s a complex topic but the short of it is she was saved just like everyone else but it just so happened it was before she was born and that grace continued throughout her life.
When considering all these things it helps to put everything in perspective. If you’re a believer you already believe in Jesus miracles; instantly curing disease, walking on water, raising the dead, dying then coming back to life. It’s like, how could something like Mary being sinless be more difficult to accept than some of these other things.
Because it's not biblical. There is nothing in the bible that suggests that to be true. You might think it sounds logical and makes sense, but it is not in the bible. It's something someone came up with, but not based on biblical truth. However, the fact that we are all sinners is certainly covered - extensively.
