I used the term "spiritual mother" and emphatically rejected the term "Spirit Mother."

That should be the end of it.

Peace, brothers.

That should end it?

The boundary between Mary being a Goddess, perhaps not even lower case(?) goddess or semi- goddess, relies singularity upon usage of capitalization or not?

Oh, and the slight suffix composed of the letters "ual" caboose-d upon the word spirit.

Remove Mary from context of all those other offensive Spirit Mothers, place her more properly where Scripture would lead us to assume she would be (among the righteous, not among the earthly & sensual as I ALREADY readily agreed) and you would still demand she be referred to as spiritual mother even as at the same time she is upper case Our Lady, Queen of Heaven, Queen of us all --- but becomes shy and only small case spiritual mother instead of Titled Spirit Mother to go along with being Titled Queen of Heaven.

That simply must leave Mary to be spiritual mother merely conceptually speaking, poetically speaking, and not literally_ spiritually speaking, if I can use "literally spiritually" at the same instant, which I most certainly can, but at this juncture, in regard to this precise theological quandary, simply must.

So thank you for not be able to answer the question maybe?

Do you realize just how much of your own past efforts here on the religion forum have now gone up in flames?
