Next thing you know the Vatican will say when you eat that wafer the real miracle is that you are also eating Mary too...
“Next thing you know the Vatican will say when you eat that wafer the real miracle is that you are also eating Mary too...”
Actually you are since her DNA is passed on along with the DNA of the whole family of Judah or for that matter, Noah’s and Adam’s. Now that is a mouthful in a little wafer!
So far it hasn't happened, but that very point was debated on this 2010 thread: Mary and the Eucharist
“Next thing you know the Vatican will say when you eat that wafer the real miracle is that you are also eating Mary too...”
No doubt. They already have a contingent that considers Mary a “co-redemptress”.
Sure, that could happen. OMG! She resides rent free!
Why not?
Without our Blessed Mother; you Prots would have no GOD worship!!

I think the Vatican will peddle Mary to all world religions as “their” savior Queen....as most religions have a female deity. They’ll use her as “common ground” among the faiths. So of course this would lead to some sort of ritual as the catholics believing they’re eating Jesus.
You mean this extrapolation, but which logic fails to go back far enough by extension,to Eve.
...the blood of Jesus is the maternal blood of Mary... — www.catholictradition.org/Mary/virgin-eucharist.htm
Go with this ineffable chaste thought to the banquet of God and you will find in the Blood of the Son the nourishment of the Mother. ^
..in Jesus is always the Immaculate flesh and the Virginal blood of His Most Holy Mother which penetrates into our hearts and inebriates our souls. ^
What is needed is a mother who may eat this supersubstantial Bread, transform it into her milk, and in this way feed her poor children. This mother is Mary. She nourishes herself with the Word and transforms It into the Sacred Humanity. She transforms It into Flesh and Blood, i.e., into this sweetest of milk which is called the Eucharist.”.. ^
“O Christian who comest full of faith to receive the Bread of life, eat It worthily, and remember that It was fashioned out of Mary’s pure blood.” Mary can quite rightfully beckon to us and speak to us in the words of the inspired prophet, “Come and eat my bread, drink the wine I have prepared” (Prov. 9:5)...
Thus every time we go to Holy Communion, something sweet to recall is that Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament is the Bread of Life produced from Mary with the flour of her Immaculate flesh, kneaded with the admixture of her virginal milk. ^
