And most of the Gospels are directed to the Apostles, those disciples eligible to be disciples, the women with them, and the Jews; by your reasoning you can exclude yourself as a Gentile from most of the Gospels; similarly most of the other books are directed to those at that time so you can exclude yourself from those. You cannot, however, exclude other beloved disciples from honoring blessed Mary as their spiritual mother and loving her, the Apostles and other saints, as they love the Messiah. That you have no power to do.
Conflation is all you got. YOUR assertion: ‘Most of the gospels are directed to the Apostles’ ... the little you know is far overshadowed by the mass of what you think you know but are no better informed than your buddy ebb tide who didn’t even know which John was at the foot of the cross. And just so you will know hereafter, the Gospels are aimed at everyone and specifically at those who will seek HIM. You can work your way to Hell, or you can take the lesson of the Gospel of Grace and be born from above in the here and now and forever more. Work or Grace ... have you heard The Gospel?
She is not the Christians "spiritual" mother. For the Catholic to insist otherwise is eisegesis.....reading into the text something that's not there.
Perhaps if catholics studied the Greek and not Latin they might get it.
on one point you're correct. I cannot stop the Catholic from worshipping and bowing down and praying to the idols they call Mary.
But for the readers of these posts who do not participate in the conversation it might shed light on the false religion called roman catholicism.
