You see Mary as a wall, obstructing; we see her as a window, transparent.
Totally false. You put little to no emphasis on the Body of Christ; we put major emphasis on the Body of Christ, with all of us (and Mary first) as efficacious members.
Totally false.
What happened to "Just ask! Don't tell me what I believe!"?
You’ve made a just point about my saying “YOU see,” ,”YOU put little emphasis,” etc. I am guilty as charged! Sorry about that.
But let me follow up -— contritely-—by asking these questions:
In the context of Catholic devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary, do you tend more to see Blessed Mary as a transparent window of prayers to God, or as a wall that blocks us/ detours us away from praying to God?
Do you see the Body of Christ as uniting the faithful on earth and in heaven in constant, effective, mutual love and prayer as “members of each other,” or do you tend to see all this stopping at death -— so one should not ask or expect an effective spiritual link (prayer) with the saints in Heaven?
This is your opportunity to set me straight!
Again I am sorry for writing generalizations instead of questions in my last post.
Good night and peace be with you.
