Actually, we do refer to "Anne" as the grandmother of God sometimes.

But remember that the Marian dogmata, in our view, arise from Christological teachings. It is through God in IHS that Mary receives all the graces we claim she has. (And therefore, Anne too. It's not her excellence that makes her God's grandmother. It is IHS's gift.)

Both "mother of" and "grandmother of' most naturally convey ontological oneness, and the frequent and unqualified use of which, and as part of the supererogatory praise given to Mary, constitutes thinking of her above that which is written. (cf. 1Cor. 4:6) For in contrast to the Mary of Scripture, the Mary of Catholicism cannot be honored to excess, and in the Catholic quest to almost deify Mary, then among other thongs, it is taught by Catholics *
