To: Belteshazzar

i must confess to having to look that up, 12 years of Catholic school and attending Mass for 52 years, i have never heard the term.
Jesus is our King, the mother of the King is Queen, agree?
you do know Catholic teaching is Mary is a created being and we don’t worship her, correct?

To: one Lord one faith one baptism

Never heard the term, huh? Interesting.

On earth, yes, the mother of the king is the queen. But we are, by definition, not dealing with earthly matters, but eternal. And Mary is never called such in the Bible.

And, yes, I know Mary is a created being. And, yes, I know that you don’t worship her. And yet there is a little more here than at first meets the eye. You’ve never heard the terms “co-mediatrix” applied to her, I suppose? “Co-redemptrix”? Both John Paul II and Benedict XVI used/use these terms often ... as well as “Regina caeli.” The terms are regularly found in books that bear the proper imprimatur and nihil obstat.
