[Mark17]

And, for the sake of information, men who deeply love [and respect] Mary, Christ's Mother, are usually more respectful toward women in general. Pay attention to the boards and see for yourself.

Say what? I think Mary, the mother of Jesus was just another sinner, saved exactly the same way the rest of us are. She and Joseph had a normal marriage, with a bunch of other kids. I respect her for that, but, for the sake of argument, let me ask the others. RN, BB, CAWW, Mamab and MM, how much respect and admiration do I and the other Christian men give you?

Sinless Mary??

 

 

Luke 2:22-24

 

When the time came for the purification rites required by the Law of Moses, Joseph and Mary took him to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord  (as it is written in the Law of the Lord, “Every firstborn male is to be consecrated to the Lord”),  and to offer a sacrifice in keeping with what is said in the Law of the Lord: “a pair of doves or two young pigeons.”

 

Leviticus 12:7-8

 

Then he shall offer it before the LORD and make atonement for her, and she shall be cleansed from the flow of her blood. This is the law for her who bears a child, whether a male or a female.
'But if she cannot afford a lamb, then she shall take two turtledoves or two young pigeons, the one for a burnt offering and the other for a sin offering; and the priest shall make atonement for her, and she will be clean.'"

Scene: New York City, man is going to jump off the building. Up rushes good Irish cop.

Cop yells up to the man “Don’t jump! Think of your father”

Man replies “Haven’t got a father; I’m going to jump.”

The copy goes through a list of relatives, mother, brothers, sister, etc. Each time man says “haven’t got one; going to jump.”

Desperate the cop yells up “Don’t jump! Think of the Blessed Virgin”

Man replies “Who is that?”

Cop yells “Jump, Protestant! You’re blocking traffic!”

I know posts from you and others will be respectful, kind, and caring. Of course, it may be my age! Unfortunately, I can not say the same about most Catholic posters. They are arrogant, unkind, and, for them, it is their way or no way. Thanks.

You and the other Christian men have been respectful and come to our defense when attacked by other non-Christian men.
