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

Sword and the Trowel ^ | 1866 | Charles Spurgeon

[Petrosius]

Do you honestly think that Baptists are like Nazis for comparrison? Sad, really. I feel sorry for you.

No, not was my intention. I guess you missed my point; it was the illegitimacy of relying on a biased and hostile source for information on a third party rather than asking the third party itself.

>>That’s a far cry from saying NO RC’s are idolatrous.<<

Which is a far cry from saying that all Roman Catholics are.

[DungeonMaster]

I notice no attempt to defend Marianism.

[phil1750]

1900+ years of idolatry is not something to be proud of.

And now we know that judgment is dungeonmasters and not God's.

"For those who believe, no proof is necessary, for those who don't, no proof will suffice". I'll pray for an end to your bigotry.

Your points are well taken.

And, I have great heart-felt supportiveness in my heart for all RC’s, Pentecostals, Calvinists, . . .

on such scores.

[Titanites]

NEITHER CAN ANY RC declare accurately, emphatically, that NO RC worships Mary.

Yes they can. Deifying Mary is prohibited by the Catholic Church. Anyone who does so is therefore not Catholic. You cannot be Catholic and believe that Mary is part of the godhead or not a creation of God.

[netmilsmom]

I asked basically the same thing and got a smarmy answer back.

[Petrosius]

That should have read: “No, that was not my intention.”

[Quix]

True. true.

[Petronski]

Where is there no attempt?

You must mean no new attempt, no immediate attempt.

I wonder how it is she got “in the eucharist”. Yet I have no doubt she is. 1 Co 5:6

Which is a far cry from saying that all Roman Catholics are.

Alas, the fine art of Venn diagramming is lost on some.

I did go to Wikipedia, admittedly

your bigotry

Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal. Reading minds of other posters is "making it personal."

[Petronski]

Do you have a Catholic source that says she is?

[Paridel]

Catholicism is THE Christian doctrine, 1900+ years young. The counterfeits are of a far younger vintage.

What about the other Orthodox Christians? The Pope wasn't the only early Patriarch.

And it’s such simple stuff. My eight year old is learning it.

[Uri’el-2012]

The Pope may not have owned Ireland to give away !

It is interesting to note that the claim of Adrian IV., here advanced, to jurisdiction over all islands was founded, as we learn from John of Salisbury, on the forged donation of Constantine (v. Book iii. No. iii.). Urban II. had disposed of Corsica under the same pretension. Lord Lyttleton in his still valuable History of Henry II. (vol. v. p. 67) speaks as follows concerning this whole transaction: "Upon the whole, therefore, this bull, like many before and many since, was the mere effect of a league between the papal and regal powers, to abet and assist each other's usurpations; nor is it easy to say whether more disturbance to the world, and more iniquity, have arisen from their acting conjointly, or from the opposition which the former has made to the latter! In this instance the best, or indeed the sole excuse for the proceedings of either, was the savage state of the Irish, to whom it might be beneficial to be conquered, and broken thereby to the salutary discipline of civil order and good laws."
