They give her titles that belong to Christ. They elevate her to just below deity. She was a woman. A humble, pious woman. She was also a sinner. She doesn't give sinners Mercy. Christ does. She isn't our mediator, Christ is. She isn't our advocate, Christ is.

What the "Church" has "infallibly" taught is heresy.

Dear Blogger,

As I said, I'm uninterested in what folks think about other titles of Mary who refuse to acknowledge the teaching of the Whole and Universal Church:

Mary is the Mother of God.

There is no basis to try to explain what these titles mean without the acceptance of the first premise. Individuals who read the other titles without first accepting that Mary is the Mother of God may very well fall into error, and think that the other titles elevate Mary to a status that she does not actually have. That error stems from the first, the refusal to acknowledge the truth as proclaimed by the entire Church:

Mary is the Mother of God.
