Well, until the “reformed” “protestants” start getting Catholic beliefs straight, I don’t think I’ll bother. When people start telling me what I believe, and how wrong I am to believe it, I tend to write them as goofy.

Ding, ding, ding. We have a winner.
Quix posted a long list of all the things, apparently, Catholics believe is true of Mary, Tree of Life, Keeper of Hell, etc. etc. I suppose posting it makes Quix a “bigot”, yet so far, none of you have explained whether or not you or the Catholic church, all or some of you, believe that Mary is all those things. If any of you would step up and say yea or nay to just what it is we are to believe, it might be a step in a direction.
Judith you may not believe something that the church teaches as true.. in that case then you are exempt from the “they” but many of the reformed posters here were Catholic and they know what the church taught..they can bring the proof of it to the discussion.. so when Catholics deny what is in black and white as true.. there is an issue.. either they do not know their own doctrine or history or they choose not to believe it is true.
For instance I believe that you do not think all the prayers Catholics say go Mary are worship.. but what we see is worship changing the name does not change it..
