IF THE TARGETED GOAL WAS NOT SUCH A HUGE DEAL, the Vatican would have long ago said something like... THEY HAVEN'T AND THEY WON'T BECAUSE THE ULTERIOR MOTIVE IS TOO HIGH A PRIORITY.

I believe that as well. As merely a logical conclusion from the premises of Christian doctrine, Mary the mother of God, is a valid conclusion. It's the implicit assumption of "goddess" that wafts through Romanists theology that makes it an invalid conclusion.

Plenty true.

thx for your kind reply.

I am glad to see that the logic of the title itself is okay.

It's the implicit assumption of "goddess" that wafts through Romanists theology that makes it an invalid conclusion.

Let us stipulate that there are mariolaters out there. Should a good conclusion be rejected because some, even many, people draw the wrong subsidiary conclusions? Shall we ban guns because people misuse them or nuclear physics because of the slime-ball Ahmadinjad?

IF we Catholics get Mary wrong, but "Mother of God" itself is a reasonable inference, then let's go after whatever it is we're doing wrong, not throw out the good because it can be perverted.

IMHO.

If they didn't treat her like one it wouldn't be an issue.
