Elsie, the thread was posted to dishonor Mary. Every Catholic here knows that. Because you are not a Catholic and have no special love for Christ’s mother, you do not see the dishonor.
You can't see what's not there.
There's no dishonor in stating that Mary is not my mother and AI am not an orphan because she is not my *mother*.
I am a daughter of God, His Spirit within me crying *Abba, Father*.
I have been adopted into His family when I was born again.
You ARE a Catholic and have VERY special love for Christ’s mother; yet you do not have the ability to actually POST the dishonor.
I'm beginning to think you're hearing voices and seeing things.
I hope any lurkers reading our exchanges don't think the same about you.
Why don't you ping the person who posted the thread if you want to accuse them of doing so to "dishonor Mary"? When I read it, it sounded more like it was posted to expose some elitist sounding words from your brand spanking new Pope (though I think for some the "honeymoon" is WAY over). It's the hyperbolic FRoman Catholic brigade who turned it into a Cath v Prot battle as they are prone to do whenever ANYONE dares mention the name "Mary". It's too bad y'all can't seem to comprehend that just because a Christian doesn't believe all the things you do about Mary - and isn't afraid to explain why they don't - there isn't dishonor nor disrespect behind it. In fact, for the Pope to say this about ALL Christians IS disrespectful of non-Catholic Christians and it dishonors Jesus Christ.
