THE DEVELOPMENT OF MARIOLATORY : M. M. NINAN<br />
Mary was the Mother <strong>of</strong> Jesus.<br />
Jesus is God.<br />
Therefore Mary is the Mother <strong>of</strong> God.<br />
This logic is a very dangerous logic. Extend this logic and we<br />
arrive at several contradictions.<br />
The other day I came across a car sticker which said the same<br />
thing. It said, "My Goddess gave birth to your God." (The Hindus<br />
could really claim that because, in Hinduism the first appearance<br />
<strong>of</strong> Brahman was in the form <strong>of</strong> a woman. She became the<br />
Mother <strong>of</strong> all things material and immaterial and living and nonliving.)<br />
Mary was the mother <strong>of</strong> God. Who was his father? There is no<br />
question that Father God -- Yvh - was Jesus’ Father. What<br />
does that make Mary? Mary is then the wife <strong>of</strong> God. This<br />
makes her the consort <strong>of</strong> Yvh - simply a Goddess coequal with<br />
the Father.<br />
It does not stop there. If Jesus was God, This God was the son<br />
<strong>of</strong> Mary and Mary is the wife <strong>of</strong> God, Mary becomes the wife <strong>of</strong><br />
Jesus God.<br />
This teaching is already immanent in the logic and is<br />
unequivocally expressed in the contemporary artistic<br />
