Maybe I’m not fully awake but I don’t understand how I’m confusing you.
Certainly within the RCC are so many factions as to make the wail about a plethera of Proddy denominations totally ludicrous.
Certainly the Ferraro book represents AT A MINIMUM millions of RC’s perspectives on Mary. That’s FRIGHTFUL TO THE MAX. The RC’s may think that the tiniest fraction of RC’s believe those things about Mary. We have seen just on FR that such an allegation would be quite false.
I haven’t yet succeeded in finding the kind of survey research that must be available on that score. I got interrupted in that search and haven’t gotten back to it. I know from inital probes into my RC social contacts that it’s a frightful percentage.
It’s confusing me, because we’ve all been told there are no denominations throughout the history of the RCC, yet it sure appears here that even today within the RCC, there are factions of Catholics who accept Marionism and some who do not. How can there have never been any differences amongst the Catholic Church, yet such disparity on a fundamental area of their worship?
Does this mean any RCC building named “Our Blessed Lady of -——” really isn’t part of the Catholic Church and is antiCatholic? Or does it mean real Catholics no longer accept the doctrine of the Hypostatic Union, but instead place their faith in Mary primal to Jesus Christ?
