I’m told that she is not worshiped, she is venerated.

"You see, Roman Catholicism is pagan goddess worship, completely distracted. God is reinvented as judgmental, harsh. Christ is reinvented as indifferent. Everybody worships Mary …"

The puzzle is whether this is just simple (as in simple-minded) bigotry or the result of a head injury.

My best guess is that little people need to find fault in others to avoid examining their own meaningless lives.

Ping for our current “discussion”

John MacArthur does not believe that Roman Catholics are Christians, and believes that ecumenism will not work because it is "another religion". He said that Roman Catholic "Priests are broken, shattered, tragic, sad, disconnected people; no past, no present, no future. They belittle the sanctity of the marriage relationship. They are denied normal relationships; the friendship of marriage. They are victims of a terrible system with no biblical basis whatsoever. It is a soul-destroying process that leaves them in a situation of rampant temptation, exposure to the worst. And the only way to fulfill these drives is sinfully. And they do not have the restraint of a transformed or sanctified life." Regarding monks, MacArthur says "the inmates, I call them inmates, of monasteries, are unmarried men. Its just bizarre and abnormal. I read today the 50% are homosexual when they get there. The rest have no chance. These people are predators." He says of convents, "I am surprised Amnesty International doesn't raid these places."[25]

OK, which one of you anti-Catholic FReepers is really John MacArthur?

...She is to be called the mother of God, this contributes to centuries and centuries and centuries of accumulated deification of Mary. She becomes equal to God. And though the Church tries its best to wiggle out of this, it tries its best to deny this, the truth of the matter is, she really is superior to God and superior to Christ as becomes very evident in what they say and in how they portray her in cathedrals all over the world. She rules in heaven as queen, sovereign, saving, sanctifying, sympathizing, all this power is given to her that belongs only to God.

Uh, Gamecock, this is not something Catholics are taught, and yet the protestants take this as proof that protestants know more than Catholics ... this is a straw argument used by the protestants, and it is false.

May I suggest the poster begin by adding an “anti-Catholic bigotry” tag to the post?

[johngrace]

John Macarthur is a “Christian knucklehead’. He believes all Charismatics are of the devil. Just read “Charismatic Chaos” book by this man. Typical knee -jerk Anti- nonsense from this ilk. Totally paranoia of every supernatural activity coming from the enemy only.

[surroundedbyblue]

Great suggestion!!!

This is hate mongering. Pure & simple. I pray that their veil of ignorance is lifted before it’s too late. Can’t imagine what Jesus must think of how some speak of His mother.
