You brought Ezechiel up and I point out that metaphores still convey a concrete message. The message of Apocalypse 12 is Mary and her children, — that would be the Church — under attack from Satan. This, as well as Acts 1-2, supports the mystical connection of Mary with the Church.
Paul’s letters are written to correct errors. Mariophobia was not an error he could correct because it is a new phenomenon, barely 2-3 centuries old.
Are you calling Revelation Apocalypse?
