****The problem Jvette is you have yet to ‘comment on that authors quotes’...nothing.. nada... zip....and that’s because it’s clear... the author is a catholic bishop...given sainthood and yet there he is elevating Mary above Jesus Christ..even going so far as stating she is above God because He answers to her.....and it’s undeniable he’s doing so.****
I do not have to refute what you quoted, when it was only the way in which it was quoted and how you came to those particular quotes that raised my objection. I told you I would not comment on incomplete quotes and to post all that was redacted.
I never refuted that what you quoted came from the very source you listed, what I object to is the omission of very large parts of the quote, things left out to deliberately give an impression that is incomplete at best and untrue at worst.
While St. Ligouri may be extreme to some, his theology is sound and grounded in Scripture and a belief in the Second Person of the Trinity, namely Jesus.
Drive by posting is exactly what it was.
Ashamed? Not by a long shot.
And still you do not respond to those quotes but distract and divert by the above statement.
There is nothing at all wrong with the "way" in which I quoted the Bishop. You have the referances.. right to the page number to investigate further.
How I "came to those quotes raised your objections"? Well the book, the title and author were all listed....that's easy enough to discern with out the use of much grey matter.
But more to the point...here you are...'again'..looking for " things not there"...rather than addressing "what is there'...which again proves my prior point that this is why catholics hang themselves time and again.
BTW...Here's some others as well... elevating mary above Christ:
Richard of St. Laurence encourages sinners to have recourse to this great name, "because it alone will suffice to cure them of all their evils;" and "there is no disorder, however malignant, that does not immediately 'yield to the power of the name of Mary.'"
The Blessed Raymond Jordano says, "that however hardened and diffident a heart may be, the name of this most Blessed Virgin has such efficacy, that if it is only pronounced that heart will be wonderfully softened." Moreover, it is well known, and is daily experienced by the clients of Mary, that 'her powerful name gives the particular strength necessary to overcome temptations' against purity.
