Mrs.: The offenders won't even call her "Blessed" as she prophesied future generations would do

Dungeon: Because Catholics have redefined the word thus deteriorating the bible in yet another way.

You may shed some light here. I suspected much of the opposition is primarily due to something being considered "Catholic."

The offenders won't even call her "Blessed"....

This illustrates the problem....roman catholicism has taken this adjective and made it into a title.

It is just one of many examples where roman catholicism has built up Mary to something that she's not accorded in the Word.

Redefining blessed: To receive a blessing from the Lord. It is a blessing to find a good wife or to be able to share the gospel. It is a blessing to have a nice day at word or to have your kids do something good that makes you proud. It would be quite a blessing to be healed by the apostle Paul. It would be quite a blessing to actually have seen and heard an apostle teach. What a blessing it would be to have actually seen the Lord.

To the Catholic church to be blessed is to: Be immaculately conceived, co redeemer, co mediator, dispenser of all graces, received bodily in heaven, ever virgin, possessor of 1000 names, etc etc etc.

So that makes it hard to even agree on a simple point. Catholics redefine and create language that would be infinitely better left in God's words as in the bible.
