You've got the CCC saying two different things, ECFs with contradictory positions on this, and other issues. Must be confusing to be a catholic.

No, it just requires a deep and abiding faith in God to believe profound truths that seem contradictory to the natural man, like the Messiah being a Jewish man and the Son of God/God the Son at the same time.

    What I find confusing is how people can claim they
  1. love the God of the Jews and hate the Jews
  2. love the LORD Jesus Christ and ignore His commandments
  3. love Mary, the Virgin of Israel, and publicly scorn and ridicule her.

What I find confusing is how people can claim they

1.love the God of the Jews and hate the Jews

2.love the LORD Jesus Christ and ignore His commandments on this thread.

3.love Mary, the Virgin of Israel, and publicly scorn and ridicule her.

Not sure who is hating the Jews on this thread.

Don't know who is or is not ignoring His commandments.

To be clear...Mary is not the Virgin of Israel. Must be one of those catholic titles she has.

Nor are Christians called to love her.

Catholicism is ridiculed and scorned for the false worship and deification they place on Mary.

That opinion would explain someone who neither loves her nor considers her a virgin.

How many times must the same straw man be burned?
