***I understand that your own novel interpretation of scripture puts Mary dead in her grave***

That is not my view.

My objections were:

[1] to the title Blessed Mother (she is blessed and a mother, but the title has no biblical basis)

[2] to taking a singluar past statement and extrapolating a present function, without any scriptural warrant.

(she is blessed and a mother, but the title has no biblical basis)

Huh??? Have ever bothered to read the first chapter of Luke?

to taking a singluar past statement and extrapolating a present function, without any scriptural warrant.

You choose to ignore the context of the Bible and apply your own novel interpretation of it so I can understand your blindness the deeper meanings in the wedding at Cana. I suggest you spend some time prayerfully contemplating the narrative of wedding at Cana, and it's place in the Gospel account.

[1] to the title Blessed Mother (she is blessed and a mother, but the title has no biblical basis)

"all generations shall call me blessed."

2] to taking a singluar past statement and extrapolating a present function, without any scriptural warrant.

If the Bible is all we have (i.e. Tradition means nothing), then is it possible to place too much emphasis on a "singular past statement" , in the Gospel, no less?
