I didn't think you were trying to be cryptic. I was just bemused.

I like Mother of the Incarnate Word -- but I have to say that right away I can fantasize Trinitarian and Christological controversies, as in, "So, you're saying the Logos was NOT God, despite john's clear yatta yatta."

Besides, darn it, I've already memorized the Hail Mary in English AND Latin. Jeesh.

Did I tell you, or was it somebody else, about the lectern/ambo at the Dominican House of Studies in DC? Over the Bible is Mary in the stage of gestation somewhere between "puh-reg-NANT!" and "oh. my. Gah!"

A wonderful image.

My apologies, “... and gnostic literature.” should be “...which was spread by gnostic literature.”

Glad I could bring a smile to your face. ;o)

Re: the very pregnant statue. I hope she was at least shown leaning on something. I understand balance ain’t that easy the last few weeks. :o)
