Protestantism seeks to limit the potential sources of Revealed Truth to a few sources that can be manipulated to meet their theology absent any other context or conflicting proof. When the entire Sacred Deposit of Faith is not rejected, and with the corroboration of Natural Revelation, the truth of Catholic teaching shines brilliantly.
Your efforts here will not sway Catholics away from the Church and we do not need your explanations and rationalizations. In other words these incessant posts are meaningless.
Peace be with you
Your post only confirms what so many of us non-Catholics have known for centuries, at least since the Bible was made available to the common man, Romanists care not a whit for truth.
A simple glance at a concordance, looking up the word “Mary,” for instance. One mention of her in the entire 28 chapters of the Acts of the Apostles. And, in that singular passage she is included with the apostles, “the women,” and “with his brethren (Jesus’ brothers),” Acts 1:13, 14, all “continuing with one accord in prayer and supplication.”
Obviously, she is no different from the rest of us, she has to seek God like the rest of us. She needed the Holy Spirit like the rest of us. Moreover, with all the importance placed on her by Romanists, why is she not listed first?
The apostles are listed in importance before her, even “the women” are. Romanists consider Mary the greatest among women, here womankind precedes her.
This, the ONLY mention of her in Acts. Where’s the Mariolatry in Acts?
