The most absurd post I can remember is when some RC (allend?) posted that because Jesus is called "the second Adam" that it makes Mary "the second Eve". That one is hard to top on the absurdity meter.

Exactly. How could Jesus be married to His mother?

(Unless it means something else....)

He wasn't married to her, that is exactly what makes the statement an absurd stretch of believablity. Adam and Eve were husband and wife, not mother and son. It just show that there are no boundaries to RC's attempts to give Mary titles and power she does not have (and would probably be embarassed, if not offended, to here).

One more thing, the additional absurdity here is that Paul never even mentions a "new Eve", so it is all an absurd stretch (trying to read between the lines again?). Just go with what is in Scripture, don't add your own "Scripture".
