You question our teachings on the Eucharist, Mary, the intercession of the saints, and Scripture and then, using the old canon, “guilty until proven innocent”, draw a conclusion on a different matter.
And you use the word “we” but you don’t say for whom you are speaking. And this is interesting because at least a few whose only knowledge of me is Free Republic have commented on other aspects of my piety and that of some other Catholicsand recognize what you seem not to see.
Some people call it investigation and reason when they look down a well and see only their own faces peering back at them.
I have been trying hard to explain from scripture and they don’t get it.
Pharisees they are - because they are invested socially so they deliberately will not listen to reason.
