You're catechising each other. No we're catechising for the benefit of others. A lurking Catholic or Lutheran will learn what his position and language should be, and why. As long as the debate remains civil and avoids circling the same material over and over, there is no harm.

Actually, Lutherans and Catholics generally agree about Mary. For that matter, ALL of the preminent Reformers accepted traditional Marian beliefs (but try to get the modern anti-Catholics to understand that).

Are you saying this is for the benefit of people who belong to the same church as the poster, but aren't as well-versed in the dogma as they should be? That's an interesting angle I hadn't thought of.
