Fascinating . . .
So, to observe something in one’s own extended family and to logically extrapolate that to a broader group is automatically bigotry . . .
Except, of course,
When Petronski is doing it in reverse about Prottys?
LOL.
LOL
GTTM.
Amazing that you don't know that.
Take the original post and substitute the word black for catholic and white for protestant. Perhaps then it will be more obvious to you.
When it's negative stereotyping, yes it is.
If a black kid stole your bike, and you went on here to declaim all blacks as thieves, you'd be deleted.
Examine yourself. It's ugly.
Mary was part of the salvation process. How can you deny that?

So was Judas.
So was Herod
So was the Roman soldier with the spear.
So was the bloke making the crown of thorns . . . and the bloke mushing it into His scalp.
Quite a group mary belonged to.
LOL.
Thanks for your affirmation.
Glad someone saw the wisdom of that assertion! LOL.
Is your latest post an example of how Protestants do consider Mary blessed?
Ugly.
Wellllllll, when so much of the RC magicsterical
dogma
is hair-brained in it’s toothpic foundation;
hair-brained in it’s RELIGIOUS political power-mongering concoction;
and
hair-brained in it’s promulgation and elaborations . . .
It’s not that difficult to understand how and why Protties might see the whole ball of wax one irratioinal big hairball!
Disagree if you want, but it is clear to me that there are exceptions. To find personal sin in the day old infant is ridiculous.
What there is in the one day old infant ... is a bent to sin, particularly through selfishness.
Given enough time, that child will sin.
Staggeringly evil.
If the infant dies before that selfishness is manifested, then all have not sinned.
Just like when you claim we believe Mary is a goddess—when we do not—grotesquely misrepresents our beliefs.

I don’t think so.
It merely describes your practices which logically flow from your grotesque rubber dogmas.
by your prayers, will deliver our souls from death.509

Mostly, I find that outrageous, blasphemy, idolatrous.
It does not. You bear false witness.
Dave, its hard not to go off on that tangent. That statue of Mary was HUGE, dead center of the altar and Christ was nowhere. Finally I found him in a tiny alcove off to the side, not even ON the altar. And He was about a fifth of the size of Mary. Try as you may to insist you don’t worship Mary, but I am hard pressed to believe that because of what I saw in that church. Mary had a place in that church in a preeminent position and Christ was secondary to her. You have no idea how offensive that was to see that.
Then you make of us liars.
No Petronski you do a fine job of that one all on your own. Might want to take it up with St. Mary's in Evansville. THEY are the ones who placed Mary in a higher position than Christ Himself.
I say I do not worship Mary, you say I do.
You bear false witness against me.
You bear false witness against me.
You bear false witness against yourself. That church says that you do by placing Mary in an exalted position over Christ.
Absolutely false. And I can see no difference between that and calling me a liar, which you've been warned not to do.
