“My God in Heaven, this is a blasphemy if ever there was one.”

I’m offended by this, but this is not blasphemy.

Blasphemy is an offense against God. The Virgin Mary is not God (or a diety of any type.) Blasphemy can only be commited against the Father, Son, or Holy Spirit.

It is interesting people call this blasphemy, yet you hear the name of Jesus Chist used as a swear word regularly in public and on television. That really is Blasphemy, but it has become so common people don’t even object to it anymore.

"Blasphemy is an offense against God."

Do you believe Jesus would not be offended at having his mother depicted in this manner?

Taking the Lord’s name in vain is blasphemy... and since the Virgin Mary is the Mother of Christ, and by her fiat He entered this world, and by her womb He received His flesh... then by that action Mary is co-redemtrix. To insult the Holy Mother of God, to wit: “the Mother of Jesus Christ” who is our Creator, is thus to blaspheme God Himself. So my accusation stands.
