and how she is elevated above Christ and equal to Him.

My point was exactly that you don't elevate Christ nearly high enough! Few if any of the non-Catholics here seem to have any appreciation of the sheer wonder of the Divinity of Christ (even those who say they accept it). Maybe they just don't express themselves well, but they seem to have an extraordinarily limited concept of God at all -- they seem to see Him plodding along with the rest of us, bound by time (though they generously grant that He can see the future).

It's like someone locked in a room whose only concept of elevation is a ladder and no inkling of mountains and valleys and foothills!

Makes me think of a man who sat in the front pew every Sunday, he was a big burley man... his only prayer week after week...year after year was... "Thank you Jesus"... He understood fully the wonder of Christ...and it humbled Him before His Saviour. He got it.

maryz post 1949: AFAIK I have never made a general statement on what "Protestants believe" -- too much variation, for one thing. I have asked individual Protestants what they believe or what their church teaches on a particular point and I've discussed or argued that point; I have certainly never insisted to a Protestant (or anyone else) that I knew more about what he believed than he did.

Then what explains this comment in this post? You just did what you claimed you never did.
