DR. PUSEY ON THE WORSHIP OF MARY IN THE CHURCH OF ROME

Sword and the Trowel ^ | 1866 | Charles Spurgeon

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Please note the date of this article -- 1866.

Seems that very little has changed in over a century.

In fact, I was stunned to realize that "Mary as co-redeemer" is not a recent fiction, but has been around quite awhile, as the article states.

This thread title sounds like an underground movie from the sixties.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

LOL. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.)

Respect

[Aussie Dasher]

Hundreds of millions of moozies want to decapitate us and you are having a go at the Catholics????

[allmost]

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Heh, if you’re new to the debate, pull up a chair and settle in.

I didn’t know Free Republic was around then :>)

[Aussie Dasher]

Mate, I wish I had time. Sounds like a ripper. One of those that leaves millions dead in its wake...

[Dr. Eckleburg]

What "millions are dead in its wake?"

Are you speaking about the hundreds of thousands slaughtered during the Inquisition?

[Aussie Dasher]

Are they the moozies who started it?

[1000 silverlings]

I can only shake my head and remember what FTD said to me: they do admit that they worship the virgin Mary, they just won’t admit that it’s wrong.

[DannyTN]

This Southern Baptist has got to go with Dasher on this one.

Dr. Eckleburg, have you ever asked any Catholics if they worship Mary? I have. And while I can’t speak for Catholics everywhere, here in the South they get offended at that question and emphatically deny that they worship Mary.

Now yeah, Catholics have this wierd custom of asking dead saints to intercede on their behalf, that is supposed to be no different than going to a live saint and asking for their intercessory prayer. And I think it’s wierd, only because I don’t believe a dead saint can hear them unless the Holy Spirit passes the prayer along. So that boils down to asking God to tell Saint Joe that you want Saint Joe to ask God about something. Wierd, but otherwise harmless.

***Mary is in the Eucharist***

I didn’t know that. One can learn so much on FR!

[Dr. Eckleburg]

There is a movement afoot in the RCC to name Mary as the "co-redeemer" and the "dispensatrix of all grace."

Pope John Pual II referred to Mary as the "co-redeemer" six times in public speeches.

This is the religion forum. Religion issues are discussed. Do you believe titling Mary as the "Co-Redeemer" is the correct Biblical approach in light Scripture?

"For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus." -- 1 Timothy 2:5

---

"In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins" -- cOLOSSIANS 1:14

If you think this is far-fetched, consider one of the earlier Catholic caucus threads which applauds the designation...

lol.

Amen brother.

BTW, I’m a tremendous fan of Australia. I just bought an Australian flag for my garage wall (I have many current and historical U.S. and U.S. allies flags on the walls) and will be flying it every Memorial day with my Stars and Stripes (replacing the Union jack I HAD been flying for years)

[NucSubs]

The number of executed were in the thousands, total, combined. Not hundreds of thousands.

[NucSubs]

Thank you.

Raised Catholic. Catholic School. Altar boy. Never worshiped Mary or was taught to.

It is a lie.

I am a monotheist. Mono. One. Trinity - one God, three aspects. Jesus suffered & died for my sins so I might enter heaven.

Christ our hope. That is what Catholic Christians are taught.
