Mary certainly is the mother of Jesus, God the Son,

So how do you come up with she's the mother of God the Son and not to be called the "Mother of God"? Unless of course, you believe "Jesus, God the Son," is not Himself God . . .

We do celebrate it as a Mystery, something that cannot be known without revelation and that cannot be understood by human minds.

See Dr. E’s post at 1457; that is what I’ve been trying to explain, although with a great lack of eloquence.

“Mother of God” implies some foundation for “Queen of Heaven” — which she is NOT — all in all, as Dr. E states, this elevates the created to an equality with the Creator. Bad no matter how you cut it.

Thanks Dr. E; again, you nail it.
