I was just speaking as an observer . . . a very trained psychological/ sociological observer

of the differences in fierceness and emotional intensity of the relative posts re:

Mary
The Pope
The Magisterical
The Edifice
The Structure
!!!!TRADITION!!!!
The Saints
etc. etc. etc.

compared to

similar re the Bible.

Quite a difference.

How do you explain it to the person in your mirror?

Well, now THAT's interesting.

BTW, it's MAGISTERIUM, not Magisterical (as Des does her best Hermoine from Harry Potter impression).

Well, jeez, I don't think any of us have ever attacked or denigrated the Bible. We just think of it differently. Christ is the center of life and it is part of Sacred Tradition and His teaching. We take it as a whole and the various instructions are taught in digestible chunks at Mass. We don't take an exacto knife and pull out verses and make them suit our purposes, though. I do wish we would stick to the Douay-Rheims translation, though. The others are so bad.

Strange that you didn't include the theology of church architecture in that list.

All in the Bible, my dear.
