lol. Great point!
But God tells us that bloodlines no longer matter, only our adoption by God...
"But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain." -- Titus 3:9
As Paul says two lines earlier...
"being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life."
The endless contrivances and rationalizations behind Mariolotry cannot hide the fact that it is pagan idol worship. And sadly, it seems to grow every day. Mary as Co-redeemer. Mary as Mediatrix. Mary as Dispensatrix of all grace. Mary on the cross with Christ. And now Mary inhabiting the eucharist.
As Mary grows, Christ recedes. As Mary dominates, Christ relinquishes authority. As Mary becomes god, Christ becomes infantile.
Any ancient Egyptian or Babylonian priest would instantly recognize that idol in the picture as a variation on their own.
“As Mary grows, Christ recedes. As Mary dominates, Christ relinquishes authority. As Mary becomes god, Christ becomes infantile.”
Quite so!
