>>In Luke, Elizabeth calls her “the Mother of my Lord”. “Lord” is a clear reference to Jesus’ Divinity.<<

I think you need to check the Greek word there. That same Greek word is used here in Matthew 20:8 where it says "lord of the vineyard". The Greek word there does NOT specifically denote deity. It is used for masters of slaves and others in authority. Study scripture, not Catholicism.

Oh, do you mean like this ?

  1. Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,
  2. I have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded : but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be .
  3. But God forbid that I should glory , save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.
  4. From henceforth let no man trouble me : for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus. 18 Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen . [To the Galatians written from Rome.]

A good thing about Catholicism is that it is never confused about the Divinity of Jesus.

And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
