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.

Thanks for talking down to me by claiming that I simply don't understand. Could it be that I do understand and simply reject it as anti-scriptural?

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.

Your Mary is not the Mary of the Bible. I have no problems with the Mary of the bible at all. It is the one that has all of these anti-biblical attributes that I flat out reject.

[MarkBsnr]

I do not claim knowledge of you other than what you write and how you write it. Therefore I do not say that you do not understand. I say that it appears to me that you do not understand. If you actually do understand, then that understanding is not being understood by me; it is not conveyed to me in a manner that I understand.

Understand?

Now, I would have you understand that I don’t HAVE a Mary. I accept Mary’s person and role from the Bible and from its creator - the Church. I accept, and I believe the Word of God from His Church.

Some would say that I am merely a parrot; I’d take issue with that. But I am following exactly the Biblical injunctions exactly as they’re laid out - understand Scripture, follow the Church’s teachings, and don’t try to come up crazy new interpretations of His Word.
