And now I see Him there!' The Blessed Mother was human! And perhaps she would have wanted to say, 'lies! I have been cheated!'. John Paul II said this when he spoke of the Mother of God at one point.

PERHAPS SHE WOULD HAVE WANTED is a hypothetical used for effect by a public speaker.

If everyone keeps expecting theological treatises out of this man, then they're going to be disappointed when they keep getting sermons using rhetorical devices all designed to make a point.

As a preacher, I hope people distinguish between a variety of types of illustrations attempting to make or explain a point...and the point.
