Might be time for someone to take a break and spend some serious time in prayer. Seriously, not mocking or joking.
.
Then I doubt you know what it is that you are casting doubt upon. (I really want to give the benefit of doubt on this)
.
You are right, and Crim has said he is doing some of that...taking a break anyway.
Me; too!
But then; I'd miss a lot of the fun!
All the non-biblical claims for Mary's alleged powers?
Would THAT fit the description?
Bonaventure: the gates of heaven will open to all who confide in the protection of Mary. Blessed are they who know thee, O Mother of God, for the knowledge of THEE is the high road to everlasting life, and the publication of thy virtues is the way of ETERNAL SALVATION . Give ear, O ye nations; and all you who desire heaven , serve, honor Mary, and certainly you will find ETERNAL LIFE.
Ephem: devotion to the divine Mother is the unlocking of the heavenly Jerusalem.
Blosius: To the, O Lady, are committed the KEYS and the treasures of the kingdom of Heaven.
Ambrose: constantly pray Open to us, O Mary, the gates of paradise, since thou hast its KEYS.
Fulgetius: by Mary God descended from Heaven into the world, that by HER man might ascend from earth to Heaven.
Athanasius: And, thou, O Lady, wast filled with grace, that thou mightiest be the way of our SALVATION and the means of ascent to the heavenly Kingdom.
Richard of Laurence: Mary, in fine, is the mistress of heaven; for there she commands as she wills, and ADMITS whom she wills.
Guerric: he who serves Mary and for whom she intercedes, is as CERTAIN of heaven as if he were already there and those who DO NOT serve Mary will NOT BE SAVED.
Anselm: It suffices, O Lady, that thou willest it, and our SALVATION is certain.
Antoninus:
souls protected by Mary, and on which she casts her eyes, are NECESSARILY JUSTIFIED AND SAVED.
You blind guides
NOW you’ve upset Hellcat owners!
Did you know that a German car manufacturer now makes a vehicle that has trained snakes to remove rain from the front glass?
Yeah; they’re called...
...Vinshield Vipers!
Uh... 'cause we can't hurt each other over the 'net??
Show...
Us...
Other Prots!!!
OOOOH!
I guess this PROVES that Hitler was a Catholic!
So?
Your FIRST CATHOLIC was called SATAN by none other than the LORD Himself!
Sure you are Christians!
You guys are just carrying WAY too much baggage around!
And then you get huffy because we REFUSE to carry the same load.
Ooops...
It wasn't addressed to crim.
I'm sure that I did first.
If not first; then at least the most effective.

elsie is FR’s most frequent user of the strawman; you’ll get no sympathy from him!
