To: stfassisi; Quix

On the other hand, Quix, here is a ready example of the other and opposite extreme, that is, of attributing to Mary far more than the Holy Scriptures teach. As provided by stfassisi:
“Since Christ is Head of his Mystical Body, the Church, it follows that Mary, mother of Christ, is also mother of that body.”

“It follows ...” What follows is wholly extra-scriptural, and in large measure anti-scriptural. Ahhh, Dame Reason (and, no, stfassisi, I am not by this referring to Mary), she is so clever, and she has such a hold on the children of men.

Go ahead, bind men’s consciences to man’s musings. See where it will lead.

Why don’t you try understanding the importance of typology through historical Christianity on the Blessed Mother and various other teachings and the Bible will make more sense

Old Testament Typologies
