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.

It is a grossly MISLEADING label.

And at this point, deliberately so.

There are reasons for that.

Those reasons don’t appear to be remotely Biblical nor remotely spiritually safe.

it is WONDERFULLY ADMIRABLE AND BETTER THAN AVERAGE REALITY TESTING from y’all’s camp . . . to note that

Maryolatry DOES exist.

Praise God for your candor.

That would depend on what the good is. If the good isn’t really good then it should be thrown out. Just because a conclusion is valid from a set of premises doesn’t necessarily imply Truth if there are other hidden premises.
