You’ll be pleased to know that I have 2 of Hahn’s books on my shelf AND have read them.
They were unconvincing, and while they were appropriate critiques in some areas, they totally failed to convince of RC Mariology. Mariology is a totally unprovable albatross about the necks of Catholic Christians, and they should be told the truth that there is absolutely no biblical basis for the Immaculate Conception or Assumption.
Additionally, the IC is illogical and the Assumption is purely emotional.
I don’t wish to offend you, nor even argue with you, a fellow Christian, so I’ll just drop this here. You can have the last word.
My sense is that even Scott Hahn (and especially Jerry Kirk’s daughter) know these things deep in the honest side of their hearts.
Winderful. Let me suggest, gently, that the Catechism with it’s careful Biblical scholarship is the place to truly read what is taught. Assuming arguendo that the IC and Marionology are the big issue for you, what are your issues with the Sacramental divide?
