No catholic bashing here. My irenic mom studied catholicism for several years, and took me along. The mysticism can be enveloping. I look back fondly on those years, and would like to think it's part of what built in me a questioning nature.
Perhaps that's Mary's intercession. (Though I'm a big Mary Magdelen fan, too.)
Thank you for posting this. Very interesting, and inspiring.
Your welcome, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Get some books or a video on it if you get a chance. Neat stuff.
