I don't, I was just pointing out that Mary could certainly have been protected from sin as was the FULLY HUMAN, CHRIST.

So do you really think that Jesus was protected from committing sin????

"So do you really think that Jesus was protected from committing sin????"

Within the posts of Catholics much is revealed about their true view of Jesus. He is so "humanized", so associated with other humans, that it seems they believe He was created at his human birth. Mary is so venerated, and other humans so honored with "S"ainthood, prayers, statues, trinkets, etc. that one wonders exactly what role they believe is left for a "s"avior to do. He is relegated to the smaller statue in their clubhouses and His name is used far less than "Hail Mary", and coupled with the personal payment they must make in purgatory, it seems obvious Jesus is optional to Catholicism.

unless you don't think that he fully accepted the trials and tribulations of being a human..yes, I believe that His Father protected Him from bowing to temptation...He was tempted you know.
