Although I thought I heard of another saint being spoken of in a similiar manner (I wish for the world, I could remember their name).<BR/><BR/>Pastor, Chris is probably just trying to be respectful of me, because I'm pretty sure he believes her to be Queen.cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16583811501343752136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291232.post-1140919686887031352006-02-25T20:08:00.000-06:002006-02-25T20:08:00.000-06:00I'd agree with Chris, Cheryl.

Those who suffer for the faith, but not to the point of death, are usually referred to as "Confessors" (like my main man, St Maximus).<BR/><BR/>If our Lady is Queen of Heaven, then she is Queen of the martyrs even though she is not a martyr herself. She's also Queen of the patriarchs, prophets, doctors, confessors, and <I>every righteous spirit made perfect in faith</I>. That doesn't make her a patriarch or confessor, herself, either.Chris Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03220498656377282715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291232.post-1140901953207519962006-02-25T15:12:00.000-06:002006-02-25T15:12:00.000-06:00Doesn't the Church regard some individuals as mart...Doesn't the Church regard some individuals as martyrs, because of their extreme suffering for Christ, even though they never actually died? I've heard Mary refered to, as, "Queen of Martyrs" before, and I'm thinking there was someone else I read about not too long ago (the name escapes me at the moment).<BR/><BR/>Or is this just a roman thing?cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16583811501343752136noreply@blogger.com
