Most of the beautiful Gothic buildings are already used by Lesley University. I would think Lesley University wouldn’t mind taking over the rest. This is good news for them.
That is quite a stretch going from Luther to this heresy.
Don’t be blind to your own.

Catholicism teaches Mary is our advocate though it is no where supported in Scripture.
In the Glories of Mary by Alphonsus de Liguor, a catholic bishop, (page 129) we have this:
Hence St. Ephrem says: Thou art the only advocate of sinners, and of those who are deprived of every help; and he thus salutes her: Hail! refuge and retreat of sinners, to whom alone they can flee with confidence.

The Bible teaches we have the Holy Spirit and Christ as our Advocate in refutation of the false catholic writing above.
1 Peter 5:6-7 tells us: Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, so that in due time He may exalt you. 7Cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you. (NASB)
This again refutes the false roman catholic doctrine that it is ONLY mary to whom we can flee to with confidence.
Roman catholicism is slowly replacing Christ as our only Savior and Redeemer with a false one in Mary.
The reliance of the roman catholic on Mary for their salvation, answered prayers, etc, is a rejection of Christ as our ONLY Savior and the only One to Whom we are to address our prayers, concerns, etc.
We won't even get into the false promise of the scapulars catholics claim can keep you from the hell fire if you are wearing one when you die.
See post 24 and tell me where I'm wrong. And as you know, there is a whole bunch more that can be written on the false roman catholic doctrine regarding "Mary".
He is the God of the Living, Do you think God ignores his children in Heaven? Yes, Mary and ALL the Saints are in Heaven and they do Live with our Lord, some seated near him and Yes I do Pray for their Intersession for Your Soul, others like you Soul’s and even My own Soul.
You are in Error and there is Nothing I can say that can help you for others here with much better talents in communication have tried. So All I can do for your Soul is to Pray.
God Bless
“heterosexism”????
What was it Martin Luther said about Mary 500 years ago?
“The veneration of Mary is inscribed in the very depths of the human heart.”
“[She is the] highest woman and the noblest gem in Christianity after Christ . . . She is nobility, wisdom, and holiness personified. We can never honor her enough. Still honor and praise must be given to her in such a way as to injure neither Christ nor the Scriptures.”
“No woman is like you. You are more than Eve or Sarah, blessed above all nobility, wisdom, and sanctity.”
“One should honor Mary as she herself wished and as she expressed it in the Magnificat. She praised God for his deeds. How then can we praise her? The true honor of Mary is the honor of God, the praise of God’s grace . . . Mary is nothing for the sake of herself, but for the sake of Christ . . . Mary does not wish that we come to her, but through her to God.”

Sadly, all that’s left for the American Episcopal church as it crashes and burns is a dirty and corrupt fight over the property - huge churches and plots of land in the very expensive centers of large cities.
Luther’s back on the good list today I see!
Do you wear the scapular as these apparitions noted to do?
In a matter of minutes!
“Luther’s back on the good list today I see!”
No, it was to point out Who Mary was and is, Martin Luther was not Catholic was he when he excommunicated himself and became a “Protester” of Truth, Yet in his Protest of the Truth he held Mary in Honor and with powers of Intersession.
“Catholicism teaches Mary is our advocate though it is no where supported in Scripture.”

I see you avoided the question on the scapular. I can understand why.
http://www.themostholyrosary.com/the-glories-of-mary.pdf
that's way beyond devotion.
“As a catholic....do you believe the apparitions who claimed to be Mary?”
Is there hate in your heart? or do you Truly wish to Learn and save your Soul?
miracle of Fatima witness by thousands Faithful and Skeptics alike. A Warning from God Why do we not Listen?

Yes, Our Mother Mary has appeared and She has Warned us what the Errors Satan convinced many of will produce and Your living with those Fruits now, however when You see a Unification of the One Holy Apostolic Catholic Church, Know that the end of Darkness is close at hand, until then Pray for All the Lost Souls.

Go read, Educate yourself. Learn what Devotion really is instead of continuing in error.

It's a simple yes or no question. Do you wear the scapular as noted by the apparition claiming to be Mary?
As a catholic who relies upon Mary it should be an easy one for you.
I suggest you might read all of the details on Fatima.
Mary is not our mother.
You have consistently ignored the doctrines of the Catholic Church as summarized in the Catechism and rejected the true interpretation of mystical, devotional, and “private revelation” literature which do not constitute doctrine. I and others have offered explanations of what *does* constitute doctrine in the FR Religion Forum over a period of years, now—— but you manifest an odd uninterest in what Catholicism actually is, preferring to run your own unbalanced, verbally “photoshopped” narrative over and over.
Discussion of your “Funhouse Mirror” picture has proven futile and tiresome.
Why don’t you spend your bandwidth explaining your own religion, rather than misrepresenting mine?
The first sentence of your post is a falsehood, since nowhere does the Church teach that Mary us to be worshipped.
