We don’t go by who we celebrate, but by the doctrines of the Church. If you think I don’t know the Catechism of my Church, please show me.

I think you are on shakey ground when your church doctrine says what it says about Mary then someone, namely De Montforte, goes a tiny bit farther and is then pilgramaged by your popes. You may think you have the letter of the RC doctrine on our side but the rest shows that we are talking fuzzy logic here. Especially since I've never met an RC that knew 5 percent of RC Doctrine making Marianism all the more fuzzy. "Let see, I don't know what the RC doctrine states but I have a mind to worship a female architype so I'll just read De Montefort and other Marian writers".

Who cares what official "Catechism" says?

It is good for all to pray to Mary so that she shows you a way to Jesus. It is certainly more important that studying the Catechism. However, if you have the mind to object to what the Church teaches, then a good start for you would be to study the Catechism. If you are not sure why you should pray to Mary, de Montfort is a good source of knowledge.

You're funny. So, tomorrow, if some member of your grouping states that your grouping considers Christ as just one of a pantheon of Gods, or Christ as the demiurge, would you say that that was official dogma of your grouping?

de Montford is NOT Catholic dogma, and what you stated is not Catholic teaching, so you are reverting to the stereotypical Catholic baiter who says "you Catholics do . You say you don't? No, you don't know what you believe in, I say you . Stop trying to argue, I know better than you what you know and what you believe in. You believe in . Never heard of that and that you Catholics believe in that? See -- you Catholics yourselves don't know that you believe in . So, now listen to me, I'm telling you that you Catholics believe in -- I know better than you what you know"
