Within the space of one week there are two great Marian feasts:Who are these women I wonder?
Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception on December 8th and
Our Lady of Guadalupe on December 12th.
December 8th is celebrated as a solemnity and is a holy day of obligation; under the title of
“The Immaculate Conception,”
Our Blessed Mother is the Patroness of the United States.
December 12th is particularly important to Hispanic Catholics, especially those from Mexico. Somos Guadalupanos!
I did a word search looking for the Name above All Names, Jesus, in the article.
Actually the search did the whole thread.
I found our Lord Jesus' name 3 times.
All three were in my post...
It's interesting that this so 'important' mass doesn't seem to have anything to do with Jesus, just the Catholic Mary and two "Ladies."
I've been noticing for a few years now that apparently the Catholic Mary is the main figure in Catholicism.
Catholicism is now what Paul referred to as an ‘other religion’.
I forgot a rule of the Religion Forum.
That if a foreign word or phrase is used, it must be translated.
So I looked for a translation of Somos Guadalupanos.
Somos means “we are.”
The translation site could not find a translation for “Guadalupanos.”
So it apparently isn’t Spanish.
It must be a uniquely Catholic word.
Sorry Religion Moderator (in case you are watching,) I did the best I could.
