A blasphemous title!

To call the Blessed Virgin Mary "Mother of Jesus," as though she was not actually Mother of God is blasphemy! It is part of the heresy of Nestorius, who was condemned by a Synod compelled to assemble

by the canons and by the letter of our Most Holy Father and fellow-servant Coelestine, the Roman Bishop....

The very first anathematization of the Council of Ephesus states:

IF anyone will not confess that the Emmanuel is very God, and that therefore the Holy Virgin is the Mother of God (Theotokos), inasmuch as in the flesh she bore the Word of God made flesh: let him be anathema.

The producers of this movie and every else involved in it should be put to the question until they recant their heresy. It will be up to the wisdom of Holy Mother Church to determine if anyone can go to see Christian Bale as "Batman" without peril to their soul if he does not first recant.

It is good that we have Mel Gibson to set us straight about the Virgin Mary!

Oh, for crying out loud! Pardon them for wanting to be ACCURATE. She WAS the mother of Jesus, after all. Goodness forbid they should actually use THAT title. I find it ironic that the Catholic church has no problem with the thought of worshipping Mary, but goodness forbid someone should refer to her as "Mary, the mother of Jesus" and not "Mary, Mother of God."

Also, nowhere in the Bible is it said that a person who refuses to refer to Mary as the "Mother of God" should be cursed. I prefer what the Bible says, rather than what imperfect, power-hungry, controlling humans say. It seems to me that they're more concerned about whether or not people agree with THEM, than they are with whether or not people believe in absolute authority of the Word of God.

Not to mention Jesus Christ Himself.

Systematiker's statement was made out of arrogance, hatred, and ignorance. Yet another lost soul that we should pray for.

Yes, they are heretics! Let us gather them up and bind their hands and feet and force them.to recant. If not, then we burn them at the stake. A deserving end to these slimy heretics! Afterwards, let's fornicate.
