I'm not sure you meant to reply to me...

but...

"Ever hear the term "Doubting Thomas." Jesus' own disciple didnt even believe until he probed the nail marks in His hands and feet and put his hand into Our Lord's side."

Yes, I have.

"There are still doubting Thomas's today. This helps our faith. Jesus said that he would never leave us and appeared many times after His death. So, he has also appeared throughout history to many saints. What is wrong with Him sending an ambassador, His own Mother? Do you think he could not do it? Would not allow it?"

True, my unbelief helped me believe even more. There's nothing wrong with him sending an amabassador. I think he has millions of ambassadors. I think he could send Mary as an ambassador if he wanted too.

"Have you ever studied it for yourself?"

The apparition? I've looked at a few websites. I don't really know what to think of it.

I'll comment on this article.

"Know for certain, dearest of my sons, that I am the perfect and perpetual Virgin Mary, Mother of the True God, through whom everything lives, the Lord of all things, who is Master of Heaven and Earth. I ardently desire that a temple be built here for me where I will show and offer all my love, my compassion, my help and my protection to the people. I am your merciful Mother, the Mother of all who live united in this land, and of all mankind, of all those who love me, of those who cry to me, of those who have confidence in me. Here I will hear there weeping and sorrows, and will remedy and alleviate their sufferings, necessites and misfortunes."

OK. She gives glory to the Father, but why on earth would she want a temple built for HER? She as quoted as saying "Here I will hear there weeping and sorrows, and will remedy and alleviate their sufferings, necessites and misfortunes."

I have a problem with that. That's not her job is it? Isn't it Jesus'? Isn't he The Great Physcian? We are healed by HIS stripes.

Even Deigo says "You are My Holy One". Well to be blunt, he's looking at the wrong person. Jesus is The Holy One.

Would you like to see a plethora of information on what the early Christians believed and practiced? Everything you can imagine is here. Every heresy refuted, catechism explained, eye witness accounts of the early martyrs, The Dormition of Mary, by John the Theologian, Infant baptism, writings of the Apostles that are not in the Holy Bible (brought to you by the Catholic Church)

It's all in there. But be careful, you might just become Catholic.

Go for it!
