It never fails in these discussions about Mary: The hatred of Mary is so powerful in some people that they will deny the divinity of Jesus in order to denigrate Mary. All the while attacking Catholics as "non-Christians" who are "un-Biblical."

It never fails in these discussions about Mary: The hatred of Mary is so powerful in some people that they will deny the divinity of Jesus in order to denigrate Mary. All the while attacking Catholics as "non-Christians" who are "un-Biblical."

Many Protestants have been taught from the cradle that Catholics make Mary a demigod, or even worship her. This disposes them to reject all Catholic arguments out of hand.

What is frustrating to us is that when we present them with Church teaching directly from the Catechism, or with arguments from Scripture or history, they often ignore them, and then tell us what we really believe-- IOW, what they have been taught by other Protestants about Catholic teaching.

If they want to be effective in their apologetics, they should show evidence of having read and understood our arguments, and then answer our arguments point by point.

No one denigrates Mary...That's another false accusation on your part...What we do is reveal the false teaching of your false religion...
