Look....there are those on this thread who have referred to the Mother of God, as "Our Lady of Perpetual Thin Mints", the "first Girl Scout" a "cookie-giver" and flippantly "Our Lady of Do Si Do's"-- I think those remarks are very disrespectful of Our Lord's Mother. What do you think?

First, I think that if you're going to cite someone, you ought to ping him/her ("first Girl Scout" was mine). Second, if we're going to talk about disrespect, it ain't my faith that's turned Mary into blatant consumer kitsch, selling everything from glow-in-the-dark dashboard icons to "Mary with the Girl Scouts" bubble gum cards.

My apologies.

("first Girl Scout" was mine)<<

Regardless how some Roman Catholics inartfully venerate Mary, do YOU really think calling her "the First Girl Scout" is being respectful?

Do they have a dashboard bobblehead? I love those things!
