A number of people have stated that I should not hold my breath. Well!
I, for one, disagree with them!

Since Catholics came through the Black Death, perhaps they are inured to the horrors of dead bodies. Since Catholics endlessly repeat...
Hail Mary; Mother of GOD, Pray for us...
...they get the idea drummed into their heads that she is Omnipotent and CAN actually hear and pray for them.

that she is Omnipotent ...I mistyped.
I've been corrected over and over that she is NOT Omnipotent; but merely TIMELESS in Heaven.
Carry on...

I wonder if evangelicals are allowed to study art in college? Or do their art books ignore all medieval and Renaissance painting?

A monstrance or ostensorium is a vessel used in Roman Catholic churches to display the consecrated Eucharistic host, during Eucharistic adoration Would THESE work just as well?

Is the 'magic' located in the Bread?
In the special incantation over the Bread?
Or in the mouth and soul of the eater of the Bread?

I would bid a thousand dollars for a tiny sliver of her bones. I have a bit less than a sliver of bones and I'll let you have it for a mere $499.95!

I have a sliver of St. Gerard who I am named after. My ex-brother-in-law has a scar; delivered by the mouth of a St. Bernard.
You can see that for FREE!

I really have to worry about people that have so much hate in them that they spend what must be hours looking for "Gotchas" about the Catholic Church. I really have to worry about people that have so much hate in them that they spend what must be hours looking for "Gotchas" about the Catholic named Martin Luther.

Or do their art books ignore all medieval and Renaissance painting?I have a personal preference for Botticelli, of course as Catholics we realize that an increase in the appreciation of humanism leads to an increase in the appreciation of the divine.
We are able to understand that God gave us beauty to be able to celebrate His creation and appreciate Him more.

Not at all, for I know where I will spend eternity!Me; too!
With 85% of ALL Mormons!!
HEAVEN-The Mormon church teaches there are three levels of heaven (three "degrees of glory"):
- Telestial - where unbelievers go
- Terrestrial - for religious people who aren't Mormons and for Mormons who have not met the requirements of the Church.
- Celestial - for Mormons who have kept ALL of the laws and ordinances of their church. What will the celestial heaven (kingdom) supposedly be like for a good Mormon? He will be a god, he will rule over a planet with his wives and spirit children.
