THIS I can go with.
Nothing to do with this thread, just a couple of things I didn’t know/think of at the time!
You were discussing Theotokos on one thread; it came up on another I was on, so I looked in my old Missal. The preferred Latin — at least liturgically — seems to be
Dei Genitrix (seems like a more semantically accurate translation of the Greek), which occurs in the Libera Nos prayer immediately after the Pater Noster and in the Holy Saturday Litany of Saints. I didn’t find Mater Dei (Virgo Maria shows up a few times) anywhere in the litury — after an admittedly quick and cursory search. AFAIK there is no English equivalent of genitrix (sometimes spelled genetrix), at least not for humans; “dam” is used of humans only in sarcasm or (supposed) wit.
The other thing I remembered regards the discussion of how Anglicans saw themselves. I said they saw Canterbury as the golden mean between Geneva and Rome. You recalled (I think) the Squire in Tom Jones referring to himself as Protestant. IIRC, folks of the Geneva persuasion show up in 16th, 17th, 18th century English lit as “Dissenters” — of course the bulk of the literature was written by Anglicans! ;-)
See you around!
