Catholics: Mary is oft called "Queen of Heaven" does this mean she is married to God?

Answer 1

NO.

If you look in the Hebrew Scriptures- the Old Testament- you will see that King Solomon's queen was not one of his many wives or concubines....HIS QUEEN WAS HIS MOTHER!!!!

And Bathsheba ( his mom) brought requests of the people to Solomon and he honored her wishes- because he honored his mother.

That is the model for Mary as the Queen of Heaven.

Answer 2

Not exactly, but she did give birth to His Son.

Mary is the mother of Jesus Christ, who is God the Son, and therefore can be addressed as the Mother of God.

This is similar to a commoner who marries a king and becomes the mother of the next king. She is entitled to the title Queen and Mother of the King even though she is not royalty or divine.

Nobody two hundred, five hundred or a thousand years ago would have been confused about these terms.

But this is hard for people to understand in these times where royalty and kings and queens are few and far between.

With love in Christ.

Answer 3

Let's see if we can untangle a few knots in your thinking here, OK? Mary is the Mother of God because she gave birth to Jesus who is both God and man. You can't separate His human nature from His God nature. Therefore Mary is the Mother of the complete God-man Jesus. Jesus was conceived by the Holy Ghost, not God the Father. And as someone else has already pointed out, there is no marriage in Heaven. Mary is not God's "wife" in any sense of the term. Jesus gave His Mother to John and to the entire Church as an intercessor and a role model. That makes her our mother in a spiritual sense, not a physical one. Yes, there is a prayer of consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, just like there are prayers of consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. When a woodworker builds a table, do you think he only uses a saw and not a hammer or a planer? He uses the appropriate tool, and one can't take the place of the other. The same thing is true of the Hearts of Jesus and Mary -- one doesn't replace the other. Jesus is our Lord and Savior, and the symbol of His love for us is His Sacred Heart. We consecrate ourselves to the Sacred Heart because we want to show His love to the whole world. . The Immaculate Heart of Mary reminds us that we must be pure to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. The Blessed Mother was (and is) brave, loyal, compassionate, loving, and a woman of prayer and meditation. By dedicating ourselves to her her Immaculate Heart, we are asking that she pray for us and help us to become as good a Christian as she is. I know this is a long post, and I hope that you haven't fallen asleep in the middle of it. You asked a lot of questions, so if one of them didn't get answered, please edit your post, and someone here will try to help you. God bless you!

Answer 4

No.

Jesus is not only the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords, he is also the eternal ruler of the Royal House of David.

Of course, David (of David and Goliath fame) was Jesus' ancestor.

Under the traditions of that royal house, the mother of the King is the Queen.

Hence Mary, the Mother of God, is indeed the Queen of Heaven.

No doubt about it.

Answer 5

A program called "Treasures of the Vatican" showed a private collection that included the finger of Mary, Queen of Heaven. But if she rose bodily into heaven without a drop of her blood spilled, how'd they get it?
What happened, did the pearly gates close on her hand and it fell to earth?

Answer 6

This is a great question. The Catholic church believes nuns to be married to God by their service in His name. So this logic could follow when looking at the belief that Mary is the queen of heaven.
Either way, its not actually biblical.

Answer 7

The "queen of heaven" is a pagan goddess:

Jer 7:18 The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead [their] dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.

Answer 8

How come Mary is the queen of Heaven when it does not say so in the bible. Catholic is false religion.

Answer 9

No. Roman Catholic theologians represent Mary as coredeemer and comediatrix with Christ. She is seen performing many functions that, in the Christian Greek Scriptures, are exclusively associated with Jesus Christ and the holy spirit. Nations are being urged to call upon Mary in their hour of danger, difficulties and doubts. The attention and devotion given to Mary in the Roman Catholic world now equal, even exceed, that given to Jesus Christ.

The activities of Jesus Christ are being removed farther away from direct contact with human life by Catholic authorities. Christ is being regarded as living aloof from mankind. He is no longer seen as the only One who intercedes before God in behalf of fallen humankind. Mary now is pictured as the copartner and cointercessor, transmitting prayers from earth to God. In fact, in all that has to do with salvation, with the achievement of human welfare and the establishment of peace on earth, Mary figures as prominently as does Jesus Christ.

If Mary performs the above functions, what is there left for God and Christ to do? If Mary intercedes, directs and teaches mankind, what is the assigned work of the holy spirit? If Mary occupies the foremost position in our hearts, what place does God occupy? Does not the elevation of Mary obscure the headship and activities of Christ over his church? Does not it minimize his earnest and undying concern for the members of his church body and for all who call upon him in spirit and in truth? Is not all this glorifying of Mary unscriptural?

Nowhere in the Bible is Mary called Queen of Heaven.
