The rest are statements of fact: the first being that most people are oblivious to the title or position of an expert (usually in a university); the second being that people ( including experts) are human, have leanings but strive to be objective and let the text speak to them; and, the third about scholarly reviews being more than saying ok (that was a fun one).
And what do all these have in common? Experts- so of course you consider it waffling since it goes against you preconceived notions, that is you have an or agenda :+{
Well at least we moved you from book burning to 'chucking books away' or what we, in 2021, call recycling.
Most progressive Christians have known this about Mary for decades (it also became common knowledge in the early 2000s - you know the DiVinci Code).The only question and a minor one at that, was 'which one (i.e. pope), which as said one can google .......as you did :+} You made a point about Mary that was accepted knowledge among people (experts and amateurs) who study the bible and early Christian history. Not a big reveal, already accepted, so no need or desire to obstruct anything. And once you realize this, I accept your apology :+}
As for you lack of future responses: promises, promises.
