Thank you nmh. Your put a little nicer than me. Makes me sick seeing people worship statues, proclaiming the 'Virgin Mary' as equal to christ etc. etc. Man it's just total nonsense and I believe the occultic fasination is demonically inspired to lead people astray from the absolute SIMPLISTIC nature of apolistic christianity. Im sorry, but I have no patience for stupidity.

I won't address the fact that you have completely mischaracterized Catholic belief. I just want to clear a couple of things up. Do you mean SIMPLE nature of APOSTOLIC Christianity? "Simplistic" is an unflattering term and "apolistic" isn't a word. But, then, neither is "occultic."

Im sorry, but I have no patience for stupidity

Too easy.

Neither of which we do.

the occultic fasination is demonically inspired to lead people astray from the absolute SIMPLISTIC nature of apolistic christianity.

What is "apolistic christianity," and where would I go to find out about it's "absolute SIMPLISTIC nature"?

Im sorry, but I have no patience for stupidity.

Really? You ought to try praying before you post garbage like this. It will give you patience.

It's fascinating to see the absolute, blind, raging hatred so many so-called "Christians" have for the Mother of the Lord. Nobody in the Bible acts that way. Jesus never acted that way. When Jesus gave Mary to John at Calvary, John didn't say, Why are you giving me this whorish idol to lead me astray from the Simplistic Nature of Apolistic Christianity????

When Gabriel showed up at Nazareth, his first words were, "Hail, full of grace!" not "Greetings, O sin-filled vessel chosen by God to bear his Son and then ever after to be worshipped as an idol by damned millions!"

When Mary spoke to Elizabeth under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, she said "All generations to come will call me blessed," not "All generations to come will either ignore me or hate me and be saved, or worship me as an idol and be damned to eternal hellfire!"

I'd really like to know where you people get your marching orders from, because it isn't the Bible.

Hmmm...I've been Catholic a long time, never once worshipped a statue or heard Mary proclaimed "equal to Christ."

Could you please find some CATHOLIC documents that tell us to worship statues or make Mary equal to Christ, so I can read them for myself?

One caveat...they need to be from Catholic Church sources, not from some anti-Catholic bigot's web site who says this is what Catholics believe.

If you can find these things, I really would like to read them. Of course, please don't say that "praying to Mary" equals "making Mary equal to Christ." That is your ignorance, not our belief. We know better than that.
