"Holy Mary, Mother of God..."

I believe only the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are holy, not Mary. I also don't believe Mary was God's mother. She was the vessel through which God became manifest on Earth. That's my criticism, and it's based on the above quote, which I believe to be integral to the Catholic religion. Continue calling be a bigot and play the victim, though, if it makes you feel like you should be immune from criticism and helps you feel better.

So she carried Him in her womb and gave birth to Him but the Roman Catholics cannot apply the term "Mother" to her for doing this?

M'kay, what term do you think they should be permitted to use (lest you judge them as being in sin once more)?

I also don't believe Mary was God's mother.

So which are you denying, that Mary gave birth to Jesus, or that Jesus is God Incarnate?

That's my criticism, and it's based on the above quote, which I believe to be integral to the Catholic religion.

Hmmm. I wonder if there is a term for someone who criticizes people for that which their utter ignorance is brutally obvious?
