A careful reading of that sentence, in light of the whole thread which has evolved or devolved into a debate on the truth of Catholicism would show that the hatred felt is toward the Catholic church.
A hatred that led to the statement that was reposted by me.
I do not believe that protestants hate Mary, but I do believe there is a detachment from her that stems from the Catholic attachment to her.
I have been told many times that it is the Catholic Mary that protestants decry, but that statement leaves me to believe there is more to it.
You've been told many times and STILL you search for 'something which isn't there'... rather than accept that it is simply as is stated...."It is the Catholic Mary that Protestants decry."
Once again you evidence what's been mentioned time and again...Catholics spend so much time looking for what "isn't there"... rather than "see" what "IS there"... that they miss the High Calling in Christ Jesus".....
....which for that leads them down a road where all manner of variations of thought and speculation occur, which occupy their hearts and minds from 'the matter at hand' in which to come to terms with and resolve.
... Undecided then they seek Rome Leadership to determine what they will believe or not.....checkmate...and they go no further to resolving their own issue of what the truth is on te matter.
