I explore the Marian dogmas of Catholicism, arguing against them from a historical perspective without relying on Sola Scriptura. The ever-expanding list of Marian dogma is severly cut-down when you let good historical methods back into the room. If you believe the new testament reliably records history on the earliest church, then the marian dogmas will be dogwalked out of the church.
