Christ her Son is King of Kings; that makes her Queen Mother by relationship alone.

Then Paul and Peter must be princes in the kingdom???

This business of trying to equate earthly realms to those of Heaven must really stop. It's quite embarrassing.

Other than catholic "tradition" and a lot of gee it sounds nice, it must be and it stands to reason.....do you have any Scriptural support for this. And keep it in context.

Please, no more one verse theology.

Where do you get that? (It's true, in one sense... but certainly not in the sense that Mary is Queen Mother [Heb: gebirah].) The biological mother of the king is the Queen mother (see my previous post, re: 1 Kings 2, etc.); there is no apparent blood tie to Sts. Peter and Paul, anyway.

With all due respect: the fact that it doesn't meet with your personal tastes is no reason to suppose that it's either incorrect or inappropriate. "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven" (Matthew 16:19) certainly sounds as if Jesus is fine with linking the earthly with the Heavenly, for example.

Other than catholic "tradition" and a lot of gee it sounds nice, it must be and it stands to reason.....do you have any Scriptural support for this. And keep it in context.

Perhaps you might show me where, in Scripture, the Bible requires this (i.e. show me where the Scriptures clearly and unequivocally teach 'sola Scriptura')? It's not unreasonable for us to ask that an arguer hold his arguments to his own standards, at very least...

Please, no more one verse theology.

:) Hm. Does that apply to the Protestant side, as well? (I'm thinking of the relentless Protestant appeals to John 6:63 in a desperate attempt to cancel out the entire remainder of John 6, and the Real Presence of Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist...)
