Rude awakenings, fire and brimstone, hell and damnation are the domain of the colorless, humorless, joyless torment you call the OPC. Thank God the Catholic Church is filled with redemption, forgiveness, joy, and Beatitude.
(hint: immaculate does not mean "infallible", but then again you probably never had cause to understand either in the context of your religion)
lol. No one said it did. "Immaculate conception" refers to the blasphemous lie that Mary herself was conceived without sin.
Rome's vanity knows no bounds. From Vatican.va (RCC catechism)...
721 - Mary, the all-holy ever-virgin Mother of God, is the masterwork of the mission of the Son and the Spirit in the fullness of time. For the first time in the plan of salvation and because his Spirit had prepared her, the Father found the dwelling place where his Son and his Spirit could dwell among men. In this sense the Church's Tradition has often read the most beautiful texts on wisdom in relation to Mary.101 Mary is acclaimed and represented in the liturgy as the "Seat of Wisdom."
Mary is "all-holy???"
Rome preaches another Gospel.
