I was taught to appeal to the BVM as Jesus would always want to please his Mother, but there is a limit. Our faith is so rich, there is no need for superstition.
Last April I married a Lutheran( by his own admission, not a very good one). He agreed to marry in the Holy Roman Catholic Church and we have no problems between us. His family and friends ( mostly non-doms in this discussion) were discussing the book of Revelations, and I had to bite my tongue sooooooooooo hard. LOL.
I have several books on the book of Revelations. I love that book. It's what heaven will be. But I have known so many good Catholics that fall for the 666 thing. (Major eye roll).

I can imagine. Eschatology discussions confined to Protestant circles can get real heated (because, mostly, of one particular school of thought that the "same pathologies, different dress" comment would apply to).
Just keeping an eye on this thread, watching to see if anything interesting comes up.
