Hear O Israel, the Lord is our God; the Lord is One
??? Our Father (and Jesus's momma -- who is Our momma too) in heaven, hallowed be your (and momma's) name.
Your (and momma's) kingdom come.
Your (and momma's) will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven. ???
translation:
Fear not madam, they are nothing but beggars
And every road I walked would take me down to the sea
With every broken promise in my sack
And every love would always send the ship of my heart
Over the roar-ing sea

Just as I agree with the Nicene-Constantinopolitan (say THAT three times fast) Creed in its Trinitarian splendor, so also I agree with Ephesus and Chalcedon that Jesus is one person in two natures so Mary is properly called “Theotokos.”
(In fact, in an analogous way, we in whom the Spirit dwells are also God bearers, one could say. )
But she is forever a creature, so while I believe the destiny of all the saved is greater than we can imagine, she can never receive divine honors.
The regal honors paid to the spouse or mother of the king are hers by courtesy, not by right. I think since we use “court” language about God, we should get to know the nuances.
Worshippers of Ashtaroth may have thought she was “Queen of Heaven” by right. We “get” that Mary, full of grace, is not cannot be queen that way.

To paraphrase Ps. 84, better a beggar by the door of the house of the Lord, than to dwell in the two-storey penthouse of wickedness.
