The Catholics claim that following:
Mary is the tree of life to those who grasp her (Proverbs 3:18)
No one can go to God without Mary drawing him
Actually bibletut has quoted himself, not The Church. Where exactly is the quotation from vatican.va or the CCC?
Actually I guess that was meant to be a bibletruth caucus, meaning only the members of bibletut’s group (sect or cult or whatever), so the number of members in that caucus = 1
The key point is that His mother didn’t, couldn’t order Him, but His love for her was so much that He listened to her.
Actually, baby Tut just made a mis-spelling, this must have been meant to be a bibletruth caucus, meaning only the members of tut’s group (sect or cult or whatever), so the number of members in that caucus = 1 could attend this and talk to themselves (which would be a monologue)
Not all Catholics view Mary like this, but a lot do. I grew up in the Roman Catholic church and was taught Mary was the mother of God, the co-redemptrix, the intercessor, the woman of Revelation who will save the world and the one who crushes the serpent’s head. I grew up worshipping Mary. We could not know Jesus Christ without going through Mary to put in a good word for us. I still know many people who believe these things, including family members.
“Ach! Deutschlander!” Americanized.
“But seriously, do you know any simple vegetarian recipes?”
Not a lot, but mostly during Lent. Lentils mainly.
Seriously, the meat is heavy duty. My mother wouldn’t consider a meal unless it had meat as the basis.
I still have a secret vice: schmaltz!
Mutter lived until age 93 even though her diet was comprised of the the politically incorrect lard, butter, meat, eggs, and cheese.
OK, veggie and near-veggie greens resipes. You asked for it!
Five-Minute Collards
| 1 Bunch collard greens, sliced | 1 TBS extra virgin olive oil |
| 1/2 red onion, sliced | 6 kalamata olives, sliced |
| 1 tsp lemon juice | S+P, dash of cayenne |
| 1 clove garlic, minced | 1-1/2 TBS sunflower seeds |
| 3 TBS pumpkin seeds | 5 drops tamari soy sauce |
Swiss Chard, Bacon and Scallop Pasta
| 2 c. (heaped) dry Pasta | 1 onion, sliced |
| 4 slices bacon | 3 cloves garlic, minced |
| 1 bunch Swiss chard, rinsed | 12 oz big sea scallops |
| 1 tsp soy sauce | 3 Tbs lemon juice |
| (opt: 1 sm. tomato, seeded and diced) | 1 Tbs olive oil |
| 1 Tbs butter | |
Start pasta.
Chop chard stems to bitesize, boil in slated water for 3 min, rinse in cold. Slice leaves. Cook the bacon until crisp. In bacon grease, sauté onions, garlic until soft. Add the tomato and cook until it begins to break down, 2 minutes. Add all chard, chopped, salt and pepper. Sauté until chard wilts.
Season the scallops with salt and pepper. In LARGE skillet, heat the oil until just smoking. Add the scallops and cook in one layer over high heat for 30 seconds. Reduce the heat to moderate and cook until golden on the bottom, 3 minutes. Turn the scallops and add the butter. Cook, spooning the butter on the scallops, until just white throughout, about 3 minutes. Add lemon juice and soy sauce, toss to combine flavors.
Add cooked pasta and greens. Mix, serve immediately.
I will. I have a recipe for Central American Slaw in “Healthy Latin Cooking,” but it’s not nearly as good as la hermana Andrea’s.
I like spinach, but I’ve had trouble taking to most other kinds of leafy greens. Maybe I’ve just been using the wrong recipes! We always have greens around, because the dragons eat them.
Sounds good!
Collards you don’t boil down into slush!
Thanks Mrs. D —> hopefully my wife will be pleased with the results (neither of us is much of a chef, but our food is edible :-)
I must say, this thread reminds me A LOT of a couple other FReepers who used to post threads here not long before you joined.

Oh well, just thought I would mention it.
I'm Lithuanian on my father's side -- we have pierogi, too! Only in Lithuanian -- the word is something like vittini (no one's quite sure how to spell it). I'll be making them for Christmas: most with my family's traditional filling of bacon, mushroom and onion; and some with my niece's favorite filling of mashed potato mixed with sour cream and cheese. The whole family (and friends) love them -- me, too, but they're lot of backbreaking work!
well, those two may belong to the same cult as bibtut — membership 1
Ah, pierogi Litwa :-) —> I like them too, but man, those are heavy! Now you’re making me feel hungry!
Yes, this is Church doctrine, and is a statement about who Jesus Christ is, not who Mary is.
the co-redemptrix
Not Church doctrine
the intercessor
Yes, all of the saints, including the Blessed Virgin Mary, are intercessors.
the woman of Revelation who will save the world
Certainly, she is the woman mentioned in the Book of Revelation, but I don't know where the part about her "saving the world" comes in.
and the one who crushes the serpent’s head.
Yes, ipsa conteret caput tuum("she shall crush your head," Genesis 3:15, Vulgate, God to the serpent)
I grew up worshipping Mary.
If you were giving honor to Mary that is only due to God, then you weren't following the Catholic Church.
We could not know Jesus Christ without going through Mary to put in a good word for us. I still know many people who believe these things, including family members.
The Catholic Church doesn't teach that. If you paid attention during your Catholic upbringing, you would find plenty of devotions directly solely to Jesus, such as the Sacred Heart, the Holy Name, and most importantly, the Blessed Sacrament.
Where does one find apostolic succession taught?
How does one know if a tradition is from God or men?
