Interesting. Mothers hate their children or overwhelmingly separated themselves from them and call it Christianity. Wow. I can see a great and wonderful psychiatric career in the barely tolerated whelps of the Reformed.

No wonder the Reformed are Darwining themselves out of existance, with their homosexual marriages, their birth control, their abortions, and their utter adherence to the zero population growth looney leftists. The Reformed are dying out for the same reasons that the Shakers did. And good riddance to them.

While I am sure St Catherine of Siena (quite a different Catherine from the farm girl of the 19th century) said that, and I'm pretty sure I know what she means and I agree, I have no clue what this has to do with anything I wrote -- with the possible exception of the facetious pretense to some kind of supernatural manifestation, which I denied and clarified in the next sentence.

I'm guessing that if you are trying to refute something I said, maybe it would good to get clear on what I thought I was saying first. Or if you are trying to press some point, maybe it would be good to say in so many words what the point is.

BTW Catherine of Siena is one of the patronesses of my order and I hope you do know that she kicked some papal butt in her glorious career.

I think I have a few super tankers full of the Papist bigots’ “LOVE” out in the back 40.

That huge quantity somehow fits on the head of a pin I lost out there once.

Oh, that’s right—that’s the quantity they fantasize extending and the pin head amount is what actually registered on the scales.

And you have a problem with your children loving you? You think it's creepy to get a love poem from one of your children? By that, are you talking about INAPPROPRIATE love, or incest? What brought THAT to your mind? Never mind, don't tell me.

Read the reply again, Judith.

Mary is not your mother.

Unless you're really 2,000 years old and happen to be one of Jesus' sisters.

That would explain a lot

1JOHN4:8 There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love. 19 We love because he first loved us. 20 If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot [1] love God whom he has not seen. 21 And this commandment we have from him: whoever loves God must also love his brother.

A mother's love, and the devotion of her children to her, is the solid foundation for all other loves in life

What Scripture says a mother's love is more important than the love of God?

I agree. I pray that you would stop spouting it, and give up your beliefs of men, and become Christian. Is there anything we Christians can do to claim you for Christ?

LUKE 10:25 On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
26”What is written in the Law?” he replied. “How do you read it?”

27He answered: “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’[a]; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[b]”

28”You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.”

29But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”

30In reply Jesus said: “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he fell into the hands of robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. 31A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. 32So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. 34He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, took him to an inn and took care of him. 35The next day he took out two silver coins[c] and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Look after him,’ he said, ‘and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.’

36”Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?”

37The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.”
Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”

You are Judith Anne, aren't you? You did write post 120, didn't you?

JUDITH ANNE: "A mother's love, and the devotion of her children to her, is the solid foundation for all other loves in life"

"THE solid foundation for all other loves in life" is not a "mother's love," Judith.

Pray for discernment.

Interesting . . .

how, in spite of themselves . . . they keep PROVING our points.

Here . . . just as

MOTHER OF GAWD

implies . . .

we find that MOTHER LOVE

is the basis of ALL LOVE.

I guess Father God had to revise His constructions on reality after Mary set Him straight.

Particularly that part about Him being the Alpha and Omega.

No more of THAT once Super Mommy Superior hit the golden streets!

I keep thinking . . . any day now . . . some of these characters are going to be embarrassed by the shallow rationalizations employed so vigorously and stridently against such outrageous UNBIBLICAL behaviors, wordings, rituals.

NOPE. Full court press! Full steam ahead!

Shocking.

Hyperbole . . .

I’m sure God has a long list of special dispensations

for idolatry and blasphemy

in the name of hyperbole.

Of course, He may occasionally ask . . .

Just how is it now, that

all these rooms full of terabytes of hyperbolic venerations, adorations and worshipfulness toward Mary

compare favorably against

a couple of drawers in a dusty file cabinet in the back room of a forgotten monestary toward God The Father, The Son and Holy Spirit?

I guess they aren’t worthy even much hyperbole . . . by comparison of raw lines of text.

Fascinating.

I think I’m learning another difference between Rabid Clique sorts of RC’s vs Prottys.

A MUCH bigger percentage of Prottys know when they are in a deep hole, to . . . uhhhhh . . .

STOP DIGGING!

Just as a 411: In the Catholic Church we believe what the bible says about how Christians are members of the one body whose head is Christ.

And we believe what the Bible says about how Mary gave birth to the Christ.

So we believe that the mother of the head is mother of the body.

And so we believe that Mary is our mother, since we are members of the Body whose head is Christ.

Non-Catholics find the Bible hard to believe.
