Mary was chosen by God to be the Mother of Jesus, but there is no indication he was chosen to be the Queen of anything.

This is simply not true, Charles. You may not acknowledge the significance of Church authority, or scripture passages such as the wedding feast at Cana, and the woman of Revelation 12...but these things are FAR from "no indication."

Neither the Cana passage nor the Revelations passage say anything about Mary being “Queen”.

And while I obviously have a level of disdain for “Church Authority”, to the degree the church has authority, it should be based on the Word of God in scripture, which should provide at least a vague inkling of the concepts.

So while the Cana passage can be used (inappropriately, I believe) to suggest Mary as intercessor, and the Revelations passage can (again inappropriately) be interpreted as suggesting Mary had some special place of honor, neither give any suggestion that Mary was ever intended to rule anything, or be considered any relationship of “Queen”.
