Well, that was painful. Not much for conversation but very suited to expressing and effecting malice.
It's interesting, de Montfort and Mary are a big part of my 'spirituality' and yet I never, ever entertain the idea that in any radical sense Mary controls Jesus.
Your side seems to despise de Montfort and, well, indicates how some people cannot be understood unless they are loved.
I guess I need to love you all more, because I do not understand the seeming need to taunt, jab, poke, stab, and hurl mud.
I know many on my side, myself included, fail to exhibit love in our posts. An important difference is that, I THINK, we don't enjoy it. Many on your side seem unable to resist the urge to say something hurtful.
Oh well. I do not recognize myself in your description of Catholic devotion to Jesus. I have a devotion to the infant Jesus, but it is not exclusive or predominant in my prayers and thoughts.
Well that's good, but you did express a willingness to believe the above little baptist anecdote. It reminds me kind of the accusation that Jews ate litttle babies that was once made in Europe. I would never eat little babies except maybe in a Jonathan Swift sort of way
