Ignoring for a moment the vitriol that appears to shine out of your prose, and going back to the Bible, what it is and how it was written and assembled, and understanding that it is an artifact produced by the Church of Christ, there has been here and on many other threads, the more than adequate Biblical justification of Catholic Marian thought.

No there certainly has not.

I know, it’s hard to keep things straight when one’s beliefs and credos wobble around as theological fashions come and go. But it’s fascinating to watch. It sometimes gets wearying to watch the repeats of certain favourite heresies

No kidding! I also notice a very distinct pattern in RC defense of Marianism. You are hitting all of the steps.

- and be able to trace their spontaneous eruptions through history, but that’s the way the heresy game seems to be played.

You should read the bible rather than the RC version of history.

But to openly mock one of God’s gifts to us - one that certainly is Biblically justified, seems very odd.

So are you accusing me of mocking Mary?

Actually, I would say that you ought to read the Bible. The whole Bible and all of it. I would not expect a child to understand advanced string theory, neither would I expect an individual by himself to understand Scripture. Your theology is different from all your peers. Do you have an answer as to why? Could it be because you are a fallible human with fallible interpretation in a world of fallible humans with fallible interpretations?

Have you looked at any of the links with chapter and verse provided on this and on many other threads?

Have you considered visiting the Vatican, the USCCB, New Advent and other Catholic websites which publish all the information you apparently don’t understand - freely and open to all? It explains what the Church is, how it came about, what its role is and the theology and the reasons that the theology is what it is.

Do you not mock God’s gift to us of Mary? “Marian fairytales”, and a complete fabrication of Mary’s role might lend itself to such a conclusion. You have not hit all the steps taken by those who would condemn Mary, not by a long shot, but you have hit some.
