The Church is a communion of faithful, united to Christ in the sacrament of baptism and obedient to His apostles. It is most certainly not a club in any sense -- that would be donatism.

Three typologies exist for the Church: the mystical body of Christ, the mystical bride of Christ, and the Blessed Virgin our mother. All three are complementary.

Virgin worship is filthy paganism in every instance..
Foreign to anything biblical.. trying to share Christ's sacrifice..

Most pagan religions have a form of virgin worship.. From Isis and Horus and her perpetually infant son.. To Ashteroth and her husband Baal... Queen of Heaven is a stalwart in eastern religion especially Buddhism and Hinduism.. Rome had vestal virgins a muddy mix from many sources.. Even animism has its queens of heaven that are virginal..

Did I say FILTHY?...
