One of the things that bothers me the most about this remark is that it reduces the blessed (according to scripture) mother of my Savior, Christ Jesus, to nothing more than a walking womb. A "vessel" could be a mechanical uterus. What about the scriptural statement, "All generations shall call me blessed"? Did that just not happen? What about her statement, "Be it done unto me according to Thy Will"? Was that not said in the Bible?
In the haste to assert a monochromatic Gospel, they end up preaching that God is less loving than humans are, and less respectful of the mother of His Son than the average drugged hoodlum scattering bastards throughout the neighborhood ios of the poor girls he impregnates.
It is remarkable to me that among the proponents of the "Mary as rent-a-womb" crowd there are so many women. I have watched the wonderful relationship between my wife and our daughter and can extrapolate from the way my daughter calls forth wisdom and love from her mother what Jesus did for Mary throughout their earthly time together.
No wonder the welcoming of the surrogate mother, of conception in a test-tube with the regrettable but what do you want us to do "disposal" of the left over fetuses.
Here is where what you are calling "hypocrisy" begins to open its unwitting (IMHO) blossom. Of course many of our Protestant brothers and sisters utterly condemn this contempt for parenthood. But while they throw it out the front door, their theology pulls it in the back door: Mary was just a kind of a vat on legs. Why not hire a rent-a-womb? After all, that's what God did.
Do you mean the "God Bearer"?
Blessed, one syllable. Not bless-ed, two syllables.
Mary was blessed by God to carry the Christ child to term.
She has a part in God's plan of salvation as every one of us does. But she is not responsible for anyone's salvation. She is not a "dispensatrix of grace" nor a "co-redeemer."
That is such a great error that Bible-believers really cannot fathom how RCs can swallow this anti-Scriptural lie. It is preposterous in fact, and damnable in truth.
