I sometimes wonder what people who attack the Lord’s Mother say about their own mothers, or their mothers-in-law. Somewhere in it, I think there’s a deep-seated rejection of the entire concept of motherhood.

Not at all...But we're talking about God here...

Just look at the picture...You have Mary bigger than life and then who's that midget??? The runt of the litter???

The picture is so disproportionate that it ofcourse had to be intentional to put ALL of the focus on Mary and none on God...

The pagan Magi following the light of the star, praise Her for revealing the light of the world.

Each longer stanza ends with the refrain: "Rejoice, O Bride Unwedded."

The fourth and the last part is once more a lyric and rhetorical appraisal of Virgin Mary, whom the poet adorns with the most beautiful of adjectives asking her to accept his poetical offering and to intercede for the salvation of human race from the earthly sin.

You attempt to insult us and tell us we have no love for our mothers because we won't blindly follow your heretical religion...

You can increase Mary and decrease Jesus all you want...Doesn't affect me at all...

I'm counting on the shed blood of Jesus Christ to get me to heaven...Apparently, you guys are counting on his mother, Mary...

It's Jesus as a baby. Did you think we was born six-feet tall? ;-D

If you'll note, the iconographers have inscribed his halo with a cross so even the dull and ignorant would be able to figure it out.
