Well.. let's have MORE of it! Since you like it, MORE!
Now now, if you take away the Catholic mythos of Mary as a mediatrix, where will the institution/religion of Catholiciism draw its power?
Why not just go straight to God who actually controls everything
***
Yes, why not.
And for that matter, why not jump right to what Jesus said about himself instead of talking about ‘2000 years’ and ‘Luther sucks.’
But it seems that in general, that’s not how these conversations turn out.
Well they would still have the Priesthood and their Pope....however they would not have the female figure they need to attract other faiths, who also have female deities, into the Universal Church United they are now promoting.
Unfortunately when a religious group fails to maintain the centrality of Jesus Christ then it's quite natural for any thing else to come flooding in.....and then stick on it some religious meaning for it to be accepted. And as we've seen for centuries 'things" become central, fables abound, and it just grows to something God never intended it to become.
Oh, and by the way. Why aren't you HONEST, and admit that the comments that I asked to be pulled WERE ON A CATHOLIC CAUCUS THREAD???
Well I did do the CORRECTION THAT WAS NEEDED.
Context is your friend.
LOL
Well the author of this article did He attended Mount “Saint Marys” Seminary ....so he’s pretty much been indoctrinated to this form of worship and seeking her out. But then most Priests do seem to have an affection for Mary. I suppose some of that might have to do with the fact they’re deprived of female companionship for the most part. So it would be pretty easy to replace that with an entity they believe they can communicate with and adore and which their church highly promotes.
......”Even on a Catholic Caucus thread, anyone is allowed to read it and view any links in it. So why not caucus it? “.....
Well that is a good question.
The power comes from the Holy Trinity, God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.
Perhaps the Catholic is the one who should explain why the phrase, "I don't give a damn", isn't profanity.
Dollars to donuts you stand up in polite society and say "I don't give a damn" people will know it's profanity.
Just ask Scarlet.
This was my first post on this thread.
>>However, there is nothing in the New Testament to indicate Mary is our mother. The Greek of the passage in question in John does not support the Roman Catholic claim that Jesus gave Mary to all of us.<<
Protestants, however seem to believe that the purpose of this forum is for incessant arguing started -- and perpetuated -- by insults, sarcasm, ridicule, digs, mocking, etc., not the intelligent discussion of the contents of the article. Maybe you need to find some apologetics forum somewhere that will appreciate Protestants' obsessive yammering.
Really don't see the insult, sarcasm, ridicule, digs, mocking,etc...unless you feel that appealing to the NT and using the Greek to counter a false teaching falls under those rather broad categories.
I've read the Book your church assembled; an with an open head.
Is the video you linked to any better?
However MANY of them did watch and listen....and eventually believed the truth...it was more the teachers and religious leaders who fought against Jesus and the truth he presented to them.....
Mariology won't be going away at any rate.. for it will be the bait and enticement to draw other faiths into Universalism this Pope particularly is promoting heavily.
I do think some will come away as he pushes the catholic church along in the trajectory they're headed....I have known some already who have left because they want no part of the Globalist agenda for the church. So we'll keep seeing the "leakage" in the catholic church as Jesus brings them out.
Thanks be to God, through the childrens prayers and surely those of others, the war did soon end. In October, Our Lady said,
Continue always to pray the Rosary every day. The War is going to end, and the soldiers will soon return home (October 13, 1917).
World War I (WWI or WW1), also known as the First World War, the Great War, or the War to End All Wars, was a global war originating in Europe that lasted from 28 July 1914 to 11 November 1918.
Rome's Mary sure WAITED long enough! Over 3 years!!
I guess her SON didn't give quite enough warning when He was on Earth...
Alrighty!!

(Given to St. Dominic and Blessed Alan de la Roche)
1 | Whoever shall faithfully serve me by the recitation of the Rosary, shall receive powerful graces. |
2. | I promise my special protection and the greatest graces to all those who shall recite the Rosary. |
3. | The Rosary shall be a powerful armor against hell, it will destroy vice, decrease sin, and defeat heresies |
4. | It will cause virtue and good works to flourish; it will obtain for souls the abundant mercy of God; it will withdraw the hearts of people from the love of the world and its vanities, and will lift them to the desire of eternal things. Oh, that souls would sanctify themselves by this means. |
5. | The soul which recommends itself to me by the recitation of the Rosary, shall not perish. |
6. | Whoever shall recite the Rosary devoutly, applying Himself to the consideration of its Sacred Mysteries shall never be conquered by misfortune. God will not chastise Him in His justice, he shall not perish by an unprovided death; if he be just, he shall remain in the grace of God, and become worthy of eternal life. |
7. | Whoever shall have a true devotion for the Rosary shall not die without the Sacraments of the Church. |
8. | Those who are faithful to recite the Rosary shall have during their life and at their death the light of God and the plentitude of His graces; at the moment of death they shall participate in the merits of the Saints in Paradise. |
9. | I shall deliver from purgatory those who have been devoted to the Rosary. |
10. | The faithful children of the Rosary shall merit a high degree of glory in Heaven. |
11. | You shall obtain all you ask of me by the recitation of the Rosary. |
12. | All those who propagate the Holy Rosary shall be aided by me in their necessities. |
13. | I have obtained from my Divine Son that all the advocates of the Rosary shall have for intercessors the entire celestial court during their life and at the hour of death |
14. | All who recite the Rosary are my children, and brothers and sisters of my only Son, Jesus Christ. |
15. | Devotion of my Rosary is a great sign of predestination. |
"The Most Holy Virgin in these last times in which we live has given a new efficacy to the recitation of the Rosary to such an extent that there is no problem,
no matter how difficult it is, wheter temporal or above all spiritual, in the personal life of each one of us, of our families...that cannot be solved by the Rosary.
There is no problem, I tell you, no matter how difficult it is, that we cannot resolve by the prayer of the Holy Rosary."
