i’ve been doing a little research on catholicism and i’ve seen a few references to mary being the queen of heaven. i was wondering if someone could tell me where this belief comes from. i was also wondering about the belief that jesus dies at every mass. i thought he only needed to die once for our sins. why is this? thanks
 
It’s not that Jesus dies over again at every Mass - it’s that we make ourselves present again at that once-and-only death on Calvary at each Mass (a little like seeing a movie over and over - it was only filmed once but can be replayed whenever we like)
 
i just read the revelations reference and i guess i could see where someone could see that it’s mary. my study bible (non catholic) says the woman may be “the believing messianic community”. your thoughts?
 
Mary must be a queen because Jesus is a king. The mother of a reigning king is always the queen mother.

Verses can have more then one meaning. Revelations can be both a reference to Mary and to the Christian community.

Yep…I have heard from Catholic speakers that the women in Rev 12 is Mary and the Church.

Glory to Jesus Christ.

I was going to direct you to a particular website but it appears they’re redoing the site and the articles aren’t available. Anyway, here’s a great article from EWTN on Mary, Queen of heaven. You may also find this thread helpful.

Here is an article on the Sacrifice of the Mass and here’s a Q&A on the same topic. Hopefully these can address your questions.

God bless you.
