To 666? It's time to give up on this 'mother of GOD' thing that possesses the Catholics.

It is too well imbedded.

The lurkers here (poor devils!) have gotten the message.

Time to move on...

In 431, with the Council at Ephesus, the worship of Mary as ‘The Mother of God’ crept in as tradition. In 607 Boniface 111 was the first ‘Pope’ named. The doctrine of Purgatory wasn’t decreed until 1439. Tradition wasn’t granted equality with scripture until 1545. But in 1530 the Protestants were killing any lay pastors teaching publicly, so splitting from Rome didn’t seem to shed the devil’s errands.
