The phrase Christian Doctrine about Mary sounds a little bit like an oxymoron. Christian doctrine deals with properly knowing, loving, and serving the true God, the Blessed Trinity. Christian doctrine does not, as far as I know, deal with adding new deities to the pantheon by elevating one human being in status to the point where she is a de facto fourth person in the Trinity. A goddess who serves as a counterweight to the Second Person of the godhead.

Do you affirm the Nicene Creed or not?
