WOW. I'm just stunned at what we're going toward here. Mary is the "Mother of God". But Jesus said "Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he." Matt. 11:11.

So is Jesus saying that John's Mother gave birth to someone greater than Mary's Son? So what exactly does that make Elizabeth, in the Catholic Church? Is Elizabeth the Queen of the Queen of Heaven? Is she standing beside Mary as Mary is standing beside Christ? Telling Mary what to tell Christ to tell us? Do you pray to Elizabeth to intercede with Mary when she intercedes with Christ? If not, why not? Was Elizabeth immaculately conceived and bodily assumed because, after all, in Jesus' words, she, among all women, bore John the Baptist, none greater than John existed.
