John 19.25-30. Blessed Mary was at the foot of the cross throughout the crucifixion. Are you going to tell me Christ's own mother would not have waited for Him to be brought down to hold His Body and tell Him goodbye? See also Luke 23.50-56, Mark 15.42-47, and Matthew 27.57-61, where it is said Mary and Mary Magdalene helped Joseph of Arimathea bury Jesus.

You Protestants should REALLY try reading your Bibles sometime, instead of reading your prejudices. The ignorance and disdain I constantly see displayed about Blessed Mary is appalling!

Hmmm...considering that you're talking prejudice here, maybe you should rethink/rephrase that particular comment.

Whew, lots of strawman false arguments you have there. Yep, there were three Mary's there at the cross, according to John, one being the mother of Jesus. I never claimed otherwise. You need to read my post and the biblical passages you cite again, I still can't find where Mary cradled her dead son in any of them, nor did I read of the "really super creepy Satan character, who is also a woman."

I belive that in your zelous worship of Mary (whom I agree was blessed)you are unfairly criticising my desire for accuracy concerning the biblical account of Jesus.

He may have been referring to the evil female character in the scene... thought i'm not well versed enough to know for sure.

That's one nasty, repugnant, and unfair generalization there, friend.

"You Protestants"...

I'll let that stand on its own.

Oh, and when was the last time most catholics read their bible - take the log out your own eye before taking the sliver out of mine (paraphrased)

Amen.

Please be so kind as to not lump all non-Catholics together. I know very well the John 19 scripture you shared, H. In my heart I'm sure Mary would have held her son tenderly as only a mother could. To judge non-Catholics as not knowing Biblical scripture is unkind.

We may have different opinions on Mary (ie praying to her) but we can agree that Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, the Life, right? The *only* way to the Father is through the Son. :o)

I'm looking forward to this movie. <><
