Did she drop Jesus like a hot potato the minute she saw that He had died?

How disrespectful.

And Mary rising up in those days, went into the hill country with haste into a city of Juda. And she entered into the house of Zachary and saluted Elizabeth. And it came to pass that when Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the infant leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost. And she cried out with a loud voice and said: "Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb! And whence is this to me that the mother of my Lord [kyrios ="kyrios", Lord God"] should come to me? For behold as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy. And blessed art thou that hast believed, because those things shall be accomplished that were spoken to thee by the Lord."

And Mary said: "My soul doth magnify the Lord.
And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
Because he hath regarded the humility of his handmaid: for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed."

-- St. Luke 1:39-48

All generations will call her "blessed". That includes you, sir. How dare you speak so insultingly of "the mother of my Lord"?

If you don't accept the virginity of Mary, that's your problem -- but to speak of her as if she were some sort of fickle groupie is deeply offensive to any Christian. We're talking about the Mother of God here, not some kind if Judean mall trash! Show some respect!

Shame on you.

Your note # 153 has no idea where I was leading to in my line of questioning. You're like somebody that doesn't understand when someone is being sarcastic, and takes them seriously. Go back and read ALL the notes, where the train of discussion led, especially note # 93.
