This is not the zero-sum mathematics that leads to talents wrapped in a napkin and buried. This is the arithmetic of talents traded and doubled...

This is language. And words mean something.

Rome is forever telling us ridiculous things and then furiously trying to explain away the clear and simple meaning of those words.

Men are not an "alter Christus," no matter how Rome would like to finagle the definition. There is no Christ but Jesus and He is in heaven, not on any alter.

And men are not instructed to "give their all to Mary." God forbid.

RC apologists should flee any person or organization that encourages that kind of anti-Scriptural, anti-Christian thinking. It may feel all warm and cozy and familial, but sentimental idolatry often feels good to our fallen hearts.

Resist it. Christ alone is worthy of our "all."

"For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house." -- Hebrews 3:3
