In the context of RC's point of view, no. RC trots her out as the mediatrix who cannot fail with Jesus. But oops. Another scripture contradicting RC Tradition. Mary is not a fool proof way to Christ. You don't need a "queen in heaven" so called to have the ear of the king.
The post to which you're replying ignores the fact that Bathsheba wandered into the king's court without an appointment, didn't really pay him the customary homage and pretty much stated her request. The king could fulfill her request if he chose to but there are rights associated with being the queen mother in Israel (and other royal courts) that we've lost in our transitions from monarchy to democracy which have further enabled Protestants to deny the reality of Our Lady's queenship. There's a tendency among modern audiences to interpret "Queen" as meaning "Vice President" or something when in fact her station was quite different from that.
You got that a bit wrong, sorry. She's the mediatrix who cannot fail without Jesus.
I don't need to eat McDonald's either, but I did last night. Regardless of what you need, Mary is there to assist.
No, it's not. Let me ask you a question...when Jesus was baptized in the Jordan, did the water bless Him, or did He bless the water?
Because Mary was special. She said Yes to God and bore His Son. God knew this from the beginning.
Then you don't need to re-read them. But others are interested...
Like I said, and like you're apparently agreeing with your double negative, the example of Solomon and Bathsheba shows she failed. It's simply a poor example of the belief that Mary cannot fail or rather it shows, as you say, that Mary can fail with Jesus, like Bathsheba did with Solomon.
It doesn't matter the result between Bathsheba and Solomon. What matters is her unfettered access and lack of need of protocol. Mary being queen of Heaven doesn't mean she cannot fail. Because of Jesus. I admit, I said that wrong. Mary can not fail, only because of Jesus, God.
I understand you believe Mary cannot fail because of Jesus. But your (RC) example of Solomon and Bathsheba fails as a queen mother to son king example. Bathsheba requested a man be given a wife and Solomon had the man killed. You'll have to look elsewhere than scripture to support your belief (queen mother cannot fail in her requests to king son).
The example doesn't fail. But Mary is queen of heaven because Jesus is King of Kings, so his mother is queen.
Why does God need a title? But I will play...Straight from the Catechism, hat tip to the Nicene Creed "GOD THE FATHER ALMIGHTY, CREATOR OF HEAVEN AND EARTH." In so many words, "God of the Universe".
