I know what "queen" means. I mean other than "female cat".) It is a title of honor and courtesy. The use of the term is no more to be dictated by those who do not know what it means than the use of "charismatic" is to be dictated by the news media.

Knowing, therefore, what "queen" means, I salute the Queen of Heaven, the Mother of the Lord of Heaven and Earth by whom was not anything made that was made.

Is the title and the "cult" capable of perversion? Clearly. Water can be polluted. That some water is impure does not keep me, by the gracious gifts (or charisms) of God, from drinking pure water. That some who salute the Queen of Heaven do so wrongly, even disastrously, does not keep me from saluting her.

Oh, but maybe I am out of place here. This, evidently is not about reasoned discussion between brethren but about some other activity.

Well, that reason and discussion can be perverted is no reason to abandon them. Since all wisdom comes from God, clearly there is no "need" to look for it in these discussions, right?

As I’ve noted, Bro,

i no longer have great spiritual concerns about

the attitude of your heart toward God because of Mary.

I’m not even totally sure why. It just seemed at some point, The Lord said you Loved Him above all else and that He’d work out the details concerning you.

That was enough for me.

There are those, however, for whom the INSTITUTIONAL STUFF vis a vis Mary is a very hazardous, even destructive, yellow brick spiritual road.

I suspect that somewhere in your experience, you have even observed such.

BTW. who said RELIGIOUS discussion was ever reasonable!
