I’ve recently participated on a few threads involving Catholic belief. I’ve quoted quite a bit of scripture (http://www.biblegateway.com/ is my friend!), and haven’t been ‘corrected’ on much by anyone.
There are a few passages, such as John 6, that we INTERPRET differently. It is entirely possible for people of good will to look at a paragraph or two, and come to differing opinions on their import.
I haven’t posted on this thread because I have no heartburn with someone asking Mary to pray from them. It isn’t exactly directed in scripture, but neither can I say it is forbidden. I have no compulsion to follow that example, but I see no objection to someone else doing it.
I strongly object to anyone PRAYING to Mary, but folks on this thread have said that is contrary to Catholic teaching as well.
Go back and read post 28.
The explanation isn’t any clearer than that.
