I just felt the need of some “cleansing prayer” posted on this thread, this morning, after all of yesterday’s prolific protestant preachiness.
I’ve given some thought to the Luke 20, 34-38 scripture that the protties interpreted as only applying to married people in heaven. If I recall correctly, they finally, after quite a bit of hesitation, came up with only the face value of Christ’s words, failing to understand that the Savior speaks on many levels, and that nothing He says to the Pharisees is ever limited in meaning to the one tiny example the Pharisees try to trap Him with.
This would be typical of the protties: nit-picking Christ’s words, if possible into meaninglessness (or whatever meaning they choose to inject). Similar to the way they pick and choose which sola scriptura to take literally and which not.
I just have a question, here....St. Mary, Queen of Heaven, has inspired many to work for pro-life causes here on earth, and I am just wondering which protties think abortion is okay, and if that is part of their denigration of the Catholic Church—? Because I KNOW that some of the myriad denominations support abortion rights. Could this be behind some of the ridicule and mocking of the RCs?
Jesus did this because the Pharisees knew their Scripture, backwards and forward, but they had turned that Scripture into a bludgeon and a power play. They made impossible rules and then only considered themselves holy.

GTTM!
You are sooooo wrong. Anyone who calls himself or herself a Christian and follows the teachings of Christ, HATES abortion, gay marriage and the like. Mary didn’t inspire Catholics to hate abortion. The Word of God and the Holy Spirit within us teaches us that. Good grief. Where do you guys come up with some of this stuff?
