[Outership]

“Are you arguing that Mary is NOT the mother of Jesus, or that she is but we shouldn’t say so?”

There is a big difference between saying that Mary is the mother of Jesus and saying that Mary is the mother of the Body of Christ. Do you truly not understand that or are you just trying to be facetious?

“But that doesn’t mean that she has authority over her adult son.”

Then why say it? Why write thousands of words and millions of titles for Mary? If it is agreed that Mary has no special place different than any other Christian, then why do all this?

[Mad Dawg]

So either Mary is not the mother of Jesus' body OR St. Paul is wrong when he says that Church is the body of Christ. Or both. So which do you profess?

“But that doesn’t mean that she has authority over her adult son.”

Then why say it?
WHO says it?
Why write thousands of words and millions of titles for Mary?

Non-sequitur. It does not follow from the writings about Mary or from her titles that we place her above Christ.
