poor thing..No it is NOT a Catholic Caucus thread. And yes it has everything to do with Catholicism. A "belt that Mary wore"?? Where you place that in the belief system scale? Amish?

Stop with your smug posts of wisdom. simply put it in a Caucus Thread or shut up about the responses you get from non-"Mary belt" believers.

I know about caucuses. See, I don't go into protestant threads and hijack them -- I'm just not interested. Yet we practically have to put up a force field to prevent you guys from doing it. My question is, why so interested? Why jump like a little kid into every Catholic thread that doesn't have a caucus around it? You hate Catholicism -- that much is clear. And you apparently have nothing better to do with your time than troll the religion forum, scanning eagerly for any thread you can invade.

At this point, any Catholic thread without a caucus becomes a 500+ post battleground. That wasn't what this what meant to be. I jsut don't get why you are so interested in our threads.

“And yes it has everything to do with Catholicism.”

Only in that - together with almost ALL of the worldwide Christian community, Catholic believers venerate the Mother of God, just as the Orthodox Russian’s of this article do, as do the Greek Orthodox and the Anglican community and the Lutherans and, well almost all of Christendom now and for the last 2,000 years. Sad that you confuse one small element of commonality with this article being about the Catholic Church. Objectively it is not. That some in their spiritual blindness find it so just demonstrates what blind hatred can do to otherwise probably good folks.
