What worries many Christians from outside Roman Catholicism is the extreme veneration given to Mary. She is addressed by terms such as "Queen of Heaven" and "Co-Redentrix". These are, to us, idolatrous terms, and are not supported by Biblical teaching, which says there is only one mediator between God and man, Jesus.

When mentioning Catholic,what comes in mind is the great image of Mary who regarded as mother of God (in their prayer of hail Mary).When mentioning God what comes quick in mind is Jesus.When mentioning Jesus what comes again is the son of God.Still no one has seen God he being almighty the creator of the universe and who dwell in heaven(the model prayer "our father who art in heaven.... let your kingdom come") Mary being the "queen of heaven" and God being the "king".What comes in mind?(i need an answer) the proofs show that most veneration goes to the Queen than to the King...!

This is a full summary of the conversation between Aldebaran and I regarding the question, because it was too long to put in comments. SINGWELL What worries many Christians from outside Roman Catholicism is the extreme veneration given to Mary. She is addressed by terms such as "Queen of Heaven" and "Co-Redentrix". These are, to us, idolatrous terms, and are not supported by Biblical teaching, which says there is only one mediator between God and man, Jesus. ALDERBARAN I have seen this complaint often, but there is nothing anti-biblical about Mary being called the "Queen of Heaven" nor about the title "co-redemptrix" (yet) defined as dogma in Catholicism. Mary is "Queen of Heaven" because she is the Queen Mother (i.e. the mother of the King Jesus Christ). Look in the Old Testament about references to the Queen Mother. Further, Catholics believe it is Jesus who makes Mary the Queen of Heaven. Co-redemptrix does not mean "equal to". For Catholics, the "co-" means "cooperates with". Mary did co-operate with God by giving her fiat to the Angel. If Mary, a creature with free will had said no, there is no guarantee that the gates of heaven would have been opened for anyone, regardless of what people like T.D. Jakes (the head of the Potter's House) imagine. She is our example of cooperating with God, she leads all to Jesus, just like she did at Cana. Personally, I find it hard to believe that Jesus is pleased by who does not try to love his mother as much as he did. SINGWELL There is everything anti-Biblical about the title “Queen of Heaven”. It more than implies power, as in the case of the Queen Mother in the Old Testament. Those women manipulated their sons for their own purposes. I would not use that as an example, my friend. Besides, the Jewish Kingship has nothing to do with Mary, seeing as it ended hundreds of years before her birth. Yes, both she and Joseph were of the royal line of David, but they had to be, in order that the prophecies of the MESSIAH should be fulfilled. The focus is on JESUS, not Mary or Joseph. Mary did not co-operate with God. Co-operation means she is an equal. She was not. She submitted, as a handmaiden. Luke 1 “46 And Mary said: My soul glorifies the Lord 47 and my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour, 48 for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant.” The mind of this great lady, who was little more than a girl at the time, can be seen in her humility and her correct theology. She admitted she needed a Saviour ie she was a sinner, and that it was not because she was anything special that God had chosen her for the task of bearing His Son. She herself called herself a humble servant. She knew her place. Look at the next lines of the psalm she composed: From now on all generations will call me blessed, 49 for the Mighty One has done great things for me— holy is his name. It suits Roman Catholics to quote the first part- and no Protestant denies that she should be called blessed by all generations- but it is the second part that is the most telling. She is blessed because of what God has done. Not for who she is. Yes, Mary had free will, but do you really think the whole of God’s plan, worked out before the foundation of the world, would have stumbled because a young woman said “no.”? You mention the wedding at Cana as proof of her part in salvation. Look closely at this. Mary tries to use her influence and is politely rebuked by Jesus. It is not her job to tell him what to do in terms of his mission. She ought to know better. Yet, she exercises her free will again, (Mark 3) when she comes with his brothers to stop him preaching. Jesus, once again, rebukes her by saying “35 Whoever does God's will is my brother and sister and mother.” She, of all people, should have known better than to try and stop His mission. She had been visited by an angel, she had borne him, she had “stored up these things in her heart” after the presentation at the temple and the interaction with Simeon and Anna. But she was a human, with human failings, like Abraham and Moses (also great people of faith, chosen for a specific time to do a specific job). I am not saying Jesus did not love her- He did; He provided for her human needs even from the cross- but her part in the mission was over. She is not recorded as even having a private meeting with Jesus, although he interacted with the apostles, who had the next part in the mission-evangelisation. The Scriptures are silent on her fate. That is because she was a human who had played her role. She is not even mentioned by the apostles in their writings. Sara is. Rachel is. Rebekah is. Leah is. Mary is not. That is not because she was not a great woman of faith. Just because the BIRTH was not the primary part of Jesus’ life. He was born to grow, and when He grew to teach, to die, to rise. The New Testament and all Christian teaching focuses on HIM, not on Mary, blessed as she was to bear Him. She was not and is not Queen of Heaven. She is not a mediatrix.. The book of Hebrews says it clearly 1 Timothy 2:5 “For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,”… Nor was she or is she co-redemptrix, because co – means equality It was Jesus who is our redeemer. He is called so consistently throughout the New Testament. The Scriptures are clear: give the glory to God: Father Son and Holy Spirit. Admire humans. Take them as role models. But do not give them titles that take away from those of the Father and the Son.

JESUS!!! Mary prays for us.

Jesus had it going on!

Jesus, God the Son, the second person of the Holy Trinity. The Blessed Virgin Mary constantly points us toward her son, as she proclaims in her prayer to God in Luke 1:46-55: "My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord; my spirit rejoices in God my savior. For he has looked upon his handmaid's lowliness; behold, from now on will all ages call me blessed. The Mighty One has done great things for me, and holy is his name. His mercy is from age to age to those who fear him. He has shown might with his arm, dispersed the arrogant of mind and heart. He has thrown down the rulers from their thrones but lifted up the lowly. The hungry he has filled with good things; the rich he has sent away empty. He has helped Israel his servant, remembering his mercy, according to his promise to our fathers, to Abraham and to his descendants forever." http://www.nccbuscc.org/nab/bible/luke/luke1.htm With love in Christ.
