Try reading the very first sentence from the Catechism that you cut-n-paste:

Mary's role in the Church is inseparable from her union with Christ and flows directly from it.

This means without Christ, Mary is nothing. Hardly the position of a goddess.

Why continue to debate when you miss the very first sentence?

[Quix]

Because in spite of endless protestations . . .

the magicsterical waddle of mushed about rubber theology and dogma

—still waddles like rubber theology
—still lays eggs like rubber theology
—still quacks like rubber theology
—still flies like rubber theology
—still swims like rubber theology
—still fertilizes flowers like rubber theology
—still floats like rubber theology
—still loses feathers like rubber theology
—still flockes together like rubber theology
—still bobs in the water like rubber theology

. . . so . . . being ‘improperly taught’ Prottys . . . we just naturally construe it to be rubber theology!

Fancy that!

No dave read that sentence again:

Mary's role in the Church is inseparable from her union with Christ and flows directly from it.

You would agree Christ is God? Therefore would you not agree that any 'union' that is 'inseparable' would be = to deity?????

I rest my case.
