Thanks for your reply on my inquiry about prayers to Jesus. What is the reason that we hear so little about this type of prayer (to Christ) and so much about the rosary and prayer to Mary? Don't you think one is emphasized a lot more than the other?

Only by Protestants who want to believe that we worship Mary.

No, tiki, I'm not talking about when protestants mention her, I'm talking about when she (more than Christ) is emphasized by catholics, such as on EWTN (still not sure if those are the right call-letters). I really need an answer.

If you need proof, how about if I watch Mother Angelica and keep a tally of how often each (Mary & Jesus) is mentioned? I'd be more than willing to do it. I get a real kick out of watching her. She says some real good things, and she cracks me up sometimes.

First of all, I doubt if you really had time to read my posts carefully but whatever.

Second of all, I've never seen Mother Angelica and I don't doubt that she is very devoted to Mary. Do you want me to argue for or against Mother Angelica when I don't know what is in her thoughts? I won't.

I would ask you to go to a Catholic Mass and tell me how many times Mary is mentioned. I could tell you but I'd just get an argument. I defy you to find a church which so completely reverences Jesus.

I understand that EWTN airs a complete Mass so why don't you watch it, listen carefully and come back and tell me how many times Mary is mentioned.

The call letters, EWTN are correct . They stand for "Eternal Word Television Network ". There is an interesting story about that .
It seems that ,some time ago, Mother Angelica was on a TV program in Birmingham, or somewhere, and the program was either preceded by or followed by a program that she found inappropriate for her audience . She complained to the station manager, who said, in effect, "well, if you don't like our programming, you will have to get your own TV station ." She thought about that and prayed about it and, now we have EWTN .(That is the reason I have cable in my home .She is,of course, also on sattelite .)
