Sir/Madame.
Please understand the significance of the nihil obstat and the imprimatur.
It means that the work contains nothing that the Church has condemned. That does not means that it is an official document of the Church. One book might take a literal view of Genesis, another a liberal view. But if neither says anything that the Church has pronounced as heretical, then it gets the stamp. On a wide range of matters, including our relationship to Our Lady, there is considerable disagreement. Books on all sides get the stamp. YOU happen not to like the rhetoric used. YOU think it “heretical,” or “unbiblical.” I respect your right to think this. BUT your notion of what the Church actually teaches about Our Lady is simply wrong.
I’m aware of that.
The fact remains that the Vatican Alice In Wonderland School of Theology and Reality Mangling
from the Pope down
encourages such hideous idolatries, blasphemies and heresies
regardless of what SOME fine print in the Catechism says.
THE FACT REMAINS that rather high offices of the Vatican system hierarchy gave a knowledgeable approval and sanction for the kosherness of that hideous book.
AND TO MY MEMORY
NO
RC HEREON
HAS *EVER*
given a candid, much less adequate and honestly fitting response to that fact.
All we get are rationalizations, justifications, excuses, blather yada yada yada.
interminably, ad nauseum, relentlessly, only.
Which, basically proves the point of how much the hideousness is entrenched in the system and in the minds and hearts of those addicted idolatrously to the system.
