Mary Crushes the Serpent’s Head

I ran across this passage in my religious reading. I thought it was a fascinating idea:

‘Mary has authority over the angels and the blessed in heaven. As a reward for her great humility, God gave her the power and the mission of assigning to saints the thrones made vacant by the apostate angels who fell away through pride.’

My comment: All this time, I have been saying that IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE is wrong, and that angels are not elevated humans — but if the human is placed on the throne and in the role of an angel, and serves God as His messenger, maybe he does get wings every time a bell rings….
