By M.C. Holbrook, Catholic Exchange - Today, we honor Mary as “Queen of Heaven”—again, a dogma that is not explicitly stated in Scripture, but one that is nonetheless logically concluded. So how is Mary’s queenship in heaven a logical conclusion? Pretty simple, really. All mothers of Israel’s kings held the royal title, “Queen Mother,” and as Mary’s son is King of Kings, this makes Mary, queen. Still, the fact that Mary is called, “Queen of Heaven” doesn’t just give the rest of us a new and lovely title by which to refer to her.
