You are so barking up the wrong tree. I’m not catholic and agree with you on the Mary thing although when I try to reason with people I try to keep venom out of it
Yes some scripture is metaphoric but not all. I can agree to disagree on communion which is not a salvation issue by the way. I don’t limit what God can do and am happy to “go there” any time people can stay civil.
You might want to do something about that chip on your shoulder. I know religion threads get rough but let’s not turn people off to truth
I think you'll find that some of our FR Catholics will disagree.
If you say so.
