Catholicism - church of the perpetually Offended.

I don’t see CB telling anyone what they believe about Mary.

What is being addressed is what is being SAID with the titles given her.

It is focusing on the meanings of the words and the message they convey. They in no way represent any of the plethora of things you have accused CB of.

As usual, when all else fails, attack the messenger.

The Catholic church, much like the United States cannot be offended. You can pour insults and derogatory comments on then and they fall off like water off the proverbial duck's back.....you can insult neither, you can minimize neither, you can claim to be better than either (but you aren't). In short, both are the examples of perfection, one directly ordained by God, the other ordained by God through our founders.

In either case, you cannot improve on perfection.
