Quix, you do seem to shout quite a bit in your written comments.

There are Catholic sites on the web that will explain The Blessed Mother to you if you wish to look at them.

I don’t know who you be? Are you a Jehovah Witness or just someone that ‘Shouts’ about the Mother of Jesus (our Mother too)?

There seem to be some catholics ‘chomping at the bit’ to witness to Jehovah Witnesses but they let you get the last word in. What’s up with that?

I’m Irish & willing to talk to folks for a bit. Why you be ranting so about the Virgin-Mary (Mother of Jesus) and all of us Roman Catholics & the Roman Catholic Church?

Are you a Christian? or a Jehovah Witness?

This meant with true >kindness. Please look at how your comment is presented on a Catholic thread. It doesn’t look very friendly at all!

How about Bible verses as a closing prayer. Colossians 3: 8-17, “But now you must put them all away: >anger, fury, malice, slander, and obscene language out of your mouths.
Stop lying to one another, since you have taken off the old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed, for knowledge, in the image of its creator. Here there is not Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free; but Christ is all and in all.
Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, heartfelt compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience, bearing with one another and forgiving one another, if one has a grievance against another; as the Lord has forgiven you, so must you also do.
And over all these put on love, that is, the bond of perfection. And let the peace of Christ control your hearts, the peace into which you were also called in one body. And be thankful.
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, as in all wisdom you teach and admonish one another, singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God.
And whatever you do, in word or in deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.”

My advice Quix, learn to pray the Mysteries of the Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary; pray it daily> “then the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus.”

NOPE.

The outrageous blasphemies and idolatries in Ferraro’s devotional are worth a lot more than CAPS and colors in protest.

The biggest fuss possible over such UnBiblical hideousness is still an inadequate protest, yet the most loving response possible.

In view of the above Scriptures, any molly coddling of the outrages in Ferraro’s book would be unloving.

Of course, I’m NOT a JW. I believe the authentic Bible cover to cover.
