Hi Carm, I apologize for my confusing statement and I do need to clarify. The Great Goddess was historically incestuous. The Gospel's Mary was a replacement for that myth. Mary was pure and not incestuous. So an improvement in mythology. The Vatican continues the work of eliminating the divine feminine by continuing to diminish Mary. I suppose that over the centuries, they will continue to make Mary less and less significant and she will just disappear. Many Protestant denominations have already jettisoned Mary. I hope this comment is clearer. Thanks for alerting me.
