Talk:Queen of Heaven
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Regina Coeli is one of the Marian Anthem, all of which are regularly sung in Latin to this day in religious houses and seminaries. I would prefer that title or as it matches the other Marian Anthems. --Vaquero100 02:25, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Split
I'm in favor of splitting off the "Fertile Crescent religions" section into its own article, and expanding it to note that Isis and Aphrodite were also referred to as "Queen of Heaven". --Redeagle688 20:14, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
- I agree with Redeagle688 that the section on "Fertile Crescent religions" should be split into a seperate article. --PVani 17:23, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] this entry about the Catholic Title Queen of Heaven is nonsense
This is an anti-Catholic article and should be removed from Wikipedia.
This is a tired article, apparently written by some born again Christian, who does not understand that Catholics believe in the communion of saints which includes the invocation, the veneration and the intercession of saints.
This Wikipedia editor quotes Jeremiah 44 which refers to the Queen of Heaven and equates this title with the modern day usage of this term in the Catholic Church.
Jeremiah was born 600 years before Christ and was referring to the pagan goddess Ishtar, when he spoke about the Queen of Heaven.
Catholics use the term “Queen of Heaven” as an honorific. An honorific is a term or title of respect. Saint Mary is also called by the Catholic Church Tower of Ivory, Tower of David, House of gold, Gate of heaven, Morning Star., etc. And Catholics are fully aware that Mary was not made of Ivory, and that she wasn't a star.
These titles are not meant to be taken literally.
It seems to me that the Anti-Catholic editors of this Wikipedia entry about the Queen of Heaven should be concentrating on the true reporting of the origins of this title for a Catholic saint and it would be more germain to the issue if these anti-Catholic editors directed their attentions to the upcoming Islamic terrorism threat, in which case back-biting Protestants will welcome their Catholic brethren in Christ, because there will be no one else to help them or any of us if Islam over-rides all of our own very hateful Christian sects.
Is Christianity a religion of love? No, it is not. It can't be because there are eggheads like the dude who wrote this article who is worried as to whether Mary is really the Queen of Heaven or if it is Ishtar? Duh? Worry about Iraq and and the deaths of people who are living today.
