What utter nonsense. I would point to the theology of the moment the CC used to placate the pagans in Ephesus when they decided to add the “queen of heaven” idea replacing Diana who the pagans worshiped. Much easier to get the pagans to come to “church” if you have their “queen of heaven” mantra to cling to.

Utter nonsense back to you. Martin Luther himself recognized that 'every milkmaid' could create her own theology.

Would you have any documentation on this event? I am happy to see that you are now recognizing the Catholic Church as the Church of the New Testament, by the way. We may be closer in belief than I formerly believed.
