And So What About The Other Mary Thing?

Having breached the subject of the exiled Bride of Christ, what about his poor mother? You know how many people have said to me over the years, O thats too much Mary business for me.... or others who have gotten irate because some preacher or another has mentioned Mary too many times. Or someone else who refused to remain in a church because someone brought in their figurine of the mother of God?.... Pathetic, but true..... Ok I guess the Catholic church has got it all out of proportion and worships Mary and stuff, which yes, I can agree that is not quite how its meant ot be. But there seems to be this anti-Mary quest in some churches which slightly annoys me. Her only crime it seems, was to be the Mother of God! Now I ask you..... what greater task in life could any young woman be given? And how brave was she to accept it. And Yes, she deserves some recognition for it.

I think somewhere along the line, there is confusion between the sacred feminine following in parts of Europe in the early christian church and the cult of Mary. It seems blatantly obvious to me that the church has morphed the whole Mary thing into being about the mother of Jesus, when actually it was originally about his wife! Yet another cover up?...... Maybe the church needs a slap of two I think...

Bless her, Mary deserves some respect. She gave birth to her child in a stable/ or otherwise minging place, suffered the ridicule of all for being an un-married mother, watched him grow up knowing it was but for a short time, and then watched him murdered by the very people who were supposed to be religius leaders of the time and she was supposed to look up to. I think she deserves more that respect! A medal!!!!

So perhaps all those fundamentalist bigots out there should get over themselves and start looking at just who these people really were and try to get in touch with that instead of making up so many rules and practices that the simple things are overlooked. Like love.... a simple thing, but only love could be enough to get anyone through what Mary went through.
