I have learned much on the FR threads as to what Catholics really believe (or are supposed to believe). However, we will have to agree to disagree as to the Immaculate Conception. I give great honor and respect to Mary, but I can't go the rest of the way. To all on this thread: let's be respectful to each other.
Is your disagreement about the time and nature of Mary's sanctification worth being separated from the Church? It doesn't seem so to me. The point seems amost trivial in comparison to the importance of being joined to the one holy catholic and apostolic Church.
