Then you have isolated the syllogism from the greater truths of the matter, when that same is applied narrowly & specifically to the relationship of Mary & Christ, thus rendering that syllogism to be irrelevant.

Enjoy the music. It's not saying what one may think, on first hearing of it...

Absolute nonsense. There is no “larger truth” that can bend or alter the laws of logic. A syllogism is either formally valid or formally invalid. The TERMS in the syllogism have absolutely nothing to do with the FORMAL validity or invalidity of the syllogism.

Anyone who claims the authority to disregard logic is claiming the authority to contradict himself, and to contradict oneself is to murder one’s own intellect or soul, e.g., as when one commits perjury.
