Nowhere in the Good Book is Mary referred to as the "Queen of Heaven" or given any ranking over the Apostles So? While other RCs vainly attempt to make Scripture teach this, at least here we have here the unabashed assertion that this is not necessary (only that it does not contradict Scripture - as far as Rome sees it), which is true as far as Rome is concerned, for she is her own rule.

Mary is not God. She is not her own rule.

vainly attempt to make Scripture teach this Well, Mary is depicted as queen, and in heaven in Rev. 12, so if that is what you are referring to, indeed, there is ample reason to call Mary "Queen of Heaven"; that's what she is simply because Christ is king. My brief question was to highlight the fact that the Holy Scripture does not generally tell us who to call what.
