I know what is meant by that when used by recognized Latin theologians and its likely OK, its use by otherwise theologically uneducated persons, given the mindset created by the Latin Church with dogmas like the Immaculate Conception which appear, even to theologically educated non-Latin Christians, as an elevation of the Theotokos to an ontological level above and beyond humanity

This is, of course, a perfectly valid concern that better schooled Catholics share. But on the other hand, we cannot accept or reject theological truths just for pastoral reasons.

"...we cannot accept or reject theological truths just for pastoral reasons."

I respect this thinking and hope that you would recognize that this thinking applies to us that disagree with your interpretation and understanding. Now just recognize your wrong. ;-)
