You asserted, “It says all generations “will” call Mary Blessed.” How very cunning, to capitalize blessed so that it becomes a part of title for the Mother of Jesus. Could nopt bring yourself to write ‘all generations will call Mary blessed.’ Typical and quite telling ...

Look, FRiend:

Could nopt (sic) bring yourself to write ‘all generations will call Mary blessed.’

Here ya go:

All generations will call Mary blessed.

No problem at all.

Aramaic, Hebrew, and I think Latin and Greek (at that time) are all-caps. These alphabets did not even have, at the time of late Roman antiquity, lower-case letters.

To address your larger point: what's your allergic itch about "titles"? Titles as we're using them don't confer anything, they acknowledge something. I can call Mary "Queen of the Little House on Unaka" if I want to. "Woman Clothed with the Sun": that's quite an honor, right there, much greater than anything I could say about it.

All honor comes from Christ and accrues to Christ. We love His Mother. We love all His people. "Blessed be God in His Angels and in His Saints."

Don't you know that the Lord LOVES to lift up the lowly? Negative reactions against the strewing of flowers at this good girl's feet seem so wizened and petty.
