I wonder why such ardent Conservative FR Catholics whine about it and don't merely DOUBLE the amount they donate. Problem solved and look at all the bragging righta they'd accrue!

Because being involved in disrespecting Our Lady, whether you believe She's the Immaculate Conception or not, is not Christian, hence, not Conservative. [Her Son will have the last word on Her ill treatment.]

I completely agree with your throwaway comment.

Absolute hogwash.....

The character that Catholics have made her into is THEIR Lady, not ours and perhaps you can accuse someone who is Catholic of disrespecting her and that makes them not a Catholic, but Catholicism is NOT the measure of Christianity.

The only people treating her ill as the ones who are making far more of her than Jesus, The Father, or the Holy Spirit, ever did, and attributing to her the characteristics of God Himself.

We are NOT to be respecters of persons, according to James the Catholic's favorite NT author. By putting people up on pedestals as they do, they are showing favoritism and being a lawbreaker.

James 2:1-13 My brothers, show no partiality as you hold the faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory. For if a man wearing a gold ring and fine clothing comes into your assembly, and a poor man in shabby clothing also comes in, and if you pay attention to the one who wears the fine clothing and say, “You sit here in a good place,” while you say to the poor man, “You stand over there,” or, “Sit down at my feet,” have you not then made distinctions among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts? Listen, my beloved brothers, has not God chosen those who are poor in the world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom, which he has promised to those who love him? But you have dishonored the poor man. Are not the rich the ones who oppress you, and the ones who drag you into court? Are they not the ones who blaspheme the honorable name by which you were called?

If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing well. But if you show partiality, you are committing sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors. For whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point has become accountable for all of it. For he who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not murder.” If you do not commit adultery but do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law. So speak and so act as those who are to be judged under the law of liberty. For judgment is without mercy to one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.

I'll 'disrespect' Rome's lady all day long; and she'll do NOTHING about it.

GOD is not gonna zap me for it and your veiled threats to me about it are not having any effect.
