>> I really do not understand the obsession on the holiness of a flesh being that served God and us by being the vessel that fulfilled the promise all those many years earlier. <<
I find it hilarious that I can turn on the radio and hear eighteen different Protestant preachers railing against Marian doctrines and five thousand posts about “Mariology” on Free Republic yet when a Catholic posts a defense of their beliefs, it’s the Catholics who have the “obsession.”
Well guess the defense cannot withstand the Godly offense.
When and who? Because the radio preachers I've heard deal with the teaching of believers. I don't hear any attacking Mary doctrine or Catholicism.
Catholics so love to be martyrs and act as if everyone every where who's Protestant is *attacking* them, and those of us who are non-Catholics rarely ever hear it. If it's so prevalent somewhere, care to provide some names of those you hear and what their program names are so we can check it out?
