but my gut-feeling is that it seems to elevate her above God.

Rather than rely on your "Gut-feeling" i.e. evangelical prejudices, why not explore the history of the Christological contraversies of the 4th and 5th Centuries and see why Orthodox Christians adopted the term and why Arians and Nestorians --like you--opposed its use. Entirely Germane because this was essentially a war over the proper interpretation of the New Testament and because your views seem close to that of the Nestorians. Since you all are always looking for historical "footprints" of your doctrines, that should be another incentive.

And what gives you the right to admonish anyone? You are the perfect example of the neighbor who says he hates the color of paint on his neighbors house when the truth is that he hates his neighbor.

The hatred you have for the Catholic Faith means that your tactics must include (1) never to seek common ground (2) to mock any Catholic devotion that differs from your own and. of course,(3) to refuse to knowledge that your doctrines are not individual but sectarian. None of these is likely to persuade anyone of anything.

Yours in love and peace,
