Maybe because it was markomalley who posted it?

I don’t know why the non-Catholics even care. Okay, that’s not quite true, they HATE the mother of God and, as hard as it is to believe, they probably hate her more than they hate the Church.

I don’t know why the non-Catholics even care.

And I don't know why any of us care what they think.

Okay, that’s not quite true, they HATE the mother of God and, as hard as it is to believe, they probably hate her more than they hate the Church.

Well, all I can say to that is respond with a couple of Scripture verses:

• Rom 8:17 And if sons, heirs also; heirs indeed of God and joint heirs with Christ: yet so, if we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified with him.
• Rom 8:29 For whom he foreknew, he also predestinated to be made conformable to the image of his Son: that he might be the Firstborn amongst many brethren
• Heb 2:17 Wherefore, it behoved him in all things to be made like unto his brethren, that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest before God, that he might be a propitiation for the sins of the people.

If the above verses apply to you, then Mary must be your mother. If's she's not your mother, well then....

But I don't think that they really care one way or the other.

When you deny the very institution that Christ set up in your own hubris, you must deny its legitimacy and anything else about it that you possibly can.
