[Mrs. Don-o]

You converse like a civilized human being. Your disagreements are expressed with reason and candor.

I like that.

On to something topical:

Al_c didn't say "Mary elevates Jesus to Godhead." Everybody here would rightly object to such a statement. What al_c said was, "On the contrary, referring to Mary as "Mother of God" elevates Jesus Christ."

Meaning, referring to Mary as "Mother of God" acknowledges that her Son, Jesus, is God. It does not "make" him God. It lifts up His Name by acknowledging His Divinity.

Anything you want to add, al_c?

Oh, excellent!

[al_c]

Nothing to add, Mrs. D. You summed up my statement perfectly.
