If someone is interested in finding out what the Catholic Church teaches about Mary, why don’t they pick up a Catechism of the Catholic Church and see what it says, rather than reading a tendentious, polemical tract by a Protestant?

The Catechism about ten bucks in paperback, and more importantly, is available online for free.

It's much easier to practice anti-Catholic bigotry when you can quote an anti-Catholic bigot.

It's kind of like anti-Americanism, it's much easier to pull of if you quote the New York Times than if you quote the National Review.

And before anybody reaches the wrong conclusion, I most certainly DID INTEND to compare anti-Catholic bigots to anti-Americans. This IS NOT to say that all Protestants are anti-Catholic bigots, because most are not.
