Don't forget, according to Rome not only is Mary on the cross with Jesus (thereby earning a position in the Trinity)

I can sense milk curdling.

but she is also supposedly the "wife of the Holy Spirit,"

Do you have any recollection of the Nicene Creed? I thought that the ersatz Christians who profess to belong to the OPC still professed that Creed. Let me refresh your memory:

For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven: by the power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary, and was made man.

If this means wife to you, so be it.

I wonder at the hatred of the Church that has spewed forth since the announcement of BXVI's visit to Britain and the resulting reclaiming of millions of people to Christianity.

Is it simply because if the entire OPC visited Britain, nobody would care and not one newspaper or television outlet would even mention it?

Just as the devil can cite Scripture, so, too, can men finagle the words of Scripture and various confessions to mean something altogether disreputable.

Mary is not the "spouse of the Holy Spirit."

Rome's preoccupation with the sexual relations of Christ's family and His disciples has always been one of its short-comings.

BXVI's visit to Britain and the resulting reclaiming of millions of people to Christianity.

lol. Reclaiming? The crowds, thank God, were much less than Rome had predicted.

And the only reason Ratzinger went to Britain was in order to shore up his flagging church throughout the British Isles. He's hoping to poach some misguided Anglicans. A fairly fruitless goal.
