The garbage is coming not only from protestants, my dear. RC's and EO's have certainly thrown their share of it.

Has anyone attacked your personal beliefs and belittled you because of them? I find it offensive when the Lord's Mother is spoken of in such a manner - the woman that the Scriptures say "ALL GENERATIONS SHALL PRAISE [HER}". If I was an unbiased and unreligious person, I would think that Mary was devilish, dragging people to hell, by reading some of these posts...

Regards

Yes, they have and on FR as well. The Lord's mother deserves respect but too many Catholics put her on a pedestal and make her equal with Jesus. It just isn't so. Nobody should be offensive to Mary but seeking the truth shouldn't be offensive. Mary would be offended at all the attention given to her. She was an obedient child and God used her to bring forth the Christ child but she would be the first one to reject all the adulation given to her.
