**In keeping with the methods of the article...**

Ha! Quite witty.

Interesting, how the RCs don’t make threads centering on another instance in scripture: where the Lord’s mother and brethern sought to speak with him, and he ‘put them on the back burner’, proclaiming that any that hear the word of God and keep it, are his mother and brethern.

The Lord displayed a sense of humor at times. Speaking to the unbelieving Nathanael, he said, “Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom there is no guile.”

Rather than "putting them on the back-burner" (which disrespectful act Jesus would never do to his mother since it would be breaking one of the 10 commandments), Jesus was simply using the occasion of their arrival to emphasize that those who hear the Word of God and keep it are as close to him as his family. This includes his mother, by the way, who we are told is blessed among women "because she believed that there would be a fulfilment of what was spoken to her from the Lord." (Luke 1:45)

**RCs **

Oh you are talking about the Reformed Calvinists again.

Catholics are not “Roman” Catholic as many non-Catholics believe.

Our rite is the Latin Rite and there are 21 other rites that are connected to the Pope and are totally Catholic.

Again — there is no such thing as “Roman” Catholics.
