The Scenario:
Ever have one of those days when you’re feeling full of energy and vigor? I mean, you’re feeling just obnoxiously happy? Well, this is one of those days.
Driving home from work, you switch on the radio to see what’s happening, and you tune in to a local Protestant radio station just in time to hear a preacher speaking against various Catholic doctrines concerning Mary. The show is called Pastor Bob’s Bible Hour. Pastor Bob proclaims: “Jesus knew Catholics would come along and begin to worship His mother and call her perpetual virgin and absurd things like that. But the Bible says: ‘Is not this the carpenter’s son? Is not His mother called Mary? And are not His brethren James and Joseph and Simon and Judas? And are not all of His sisters with us?’ (Matt. 13:55-56a). And isn’t it sad, my brothers and sisters?”
Pastor Bob goes on to say: “Jesus dealt with these Mary worshippers in His day. In Luke 11:27-28, the Bible says, ‘A woman in the crowd raised her voice and said to Him, “Blessed is the womb that bore You, and the breasts that You sucked!” But He said, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it!”’”

Well, a sense of humor is required, but please don't make this thread about me.
Post 464.
It would be interesting to learn what the lurkers thought, when they discovered that Keith Olbermann, Robin Williams, Maureen Dowd, and Bill Maher all said that the Holy Father was a Nazi, just like the Calvinists do on every Catholic thread....
Of course, Bill Maher DID apologize, unlike the Calvinists. But then, he’s telling jokes about Sarah Palin and her son Trig, so.....
I wonder if it’s a coincidence that neither the Calvinists nor Keith Olbermann have any sense of humor? Makes sense, when you think about it...
