To: Polycarp; meandog
(meandog as quoted by Polycarp) but Marian philosophy is, in Protestant thought, strange--because there is absolutely no mention of St. Mary being emmaculately conceived, a perpetual virgin,

(Polycarp) Actually, you are incorrect.

Actually, you didn't pay attention. I must assume you are honorable and "accidentally" missed the highlighted passage:

"...but Marian philosophy is, in Protestant thought, strange--because there is absolutely no mention of St. Mary being emmaculately conceived, a perpetual virgin, or bodily assumed into heaven anywhere in Christian Scripture.

That is, unless you have a different interpretation of Scripture.

So what?????

Which passage of Scripture mentions the alleged burial of St. James the Just in an ossuary with the reported inscriptions in separate languages and separate times by separate people, whoever they may have been? And, if so, which of the several boxes with such inscriptions was referenced?

Andrew must not have died yet. It isn't anywhere in Scripture. Likewise James the Just (uh oh, that's a complication). None of the other apostles are dead either other than Judas and James the Greater because the Bible does not tell us so! Right?

Luther did not exist. Nor did Zwingli. Nor did Calvin. No mention of them either. In fact, you and I aren't mentioned and so we must be imagining this conversation which must be imaginary? Right???? And Freep is also (how you say?) unScriptural because not mentioned in Scripture either so we are only imagining this website too. Hey, it's a Vatican plot and so successful that even you have been taken in.
