I agree with you. Equating Mary as the Bride of Christ is wrong.

I must have missed something in school as a kid. Does the Roman Church teach that the Holy Thetokos is the bride of Christ? There is an ancient service on Great Monday and Great Tuesday in the Orthodox Holy Week called the Nymphios Service where the Church is presented as the Bride of Christ, not Panagia. There is even an Icon for the feast, which, alas, I don't know how to post.
