There's no dishonor in stating that Mary is not my mother and AI am not an orphan because she is not my *mother*.

Jesus has given us a perfect role model (and mother). You choose to reject her as such. That's your own business, not mine, but it is the height of dishonor.

"Let this mind be in you that is in Christ Jesus."

NOT "...in His mother; Mary."

[CynicalBear]

Catholics say Mary is their mother. The Holy Spirit had Paul write:

Galatians 4:26 But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.

Who to listen to, Catholics or the Holy Spirit? It will be the Holy Spirit for me. You not so much?

If only Catholics were so zealous for Jesus!

Well, then, if Christ is the example of how to honor whats-her-name, then we should be calling her *Woman*, like He did.

I don't recall anywhere where he called her by her name, nor even called her *Mother*, or *Mom* nor even referred to her at all as HIS mother.
