The arrogance of an pseudo-adoptionist suggesting that Catholicism is not Christianity...its amazing.

Go read CCC 841 and figure out if you're really worshipping Yahweh or Allah... Rome says that if you're a Catholic, you're "adore[ing] the same, merciful God" as Muslims. And we KNOW they do NOT worship Yahweh. If you profess to be worshipping Yahweh, then you're at odds with Rome and may be poorly catechized. If you cling to Rome's teachings, well, then, we're talking about two different objects of worship.

Catholicism is a denomination just like the Methodists or Baptists or Presbyterians or any other denomination -- Christianity is FOLLOWING CHRIST. Christianity not Catholicanity. There are, no doubt, Christians among Catholics just as there are Christians among the other denominations. But *being* Catholic does NOT make you a Christian... no more than standing in a garage makes you a car (h/t to Billy Graham, I believe).

So, really, the only arrogance I see here, and have seen in general, is that practiced by Roman Catholicism.

So far we've been discussing The motherhood of Mary. A belief that spans more than Roman Catholicism but professed in it. You continue to want to jump into off-topic questions about Islam and Roman Catholicism. Make another topic and see who responds to CCC 841.

Its not relevant to the title mother of Mary. It is a red herring.

So, really, the only arrogance I see here, and have seen in general, is that practiced by Roman Catholicism.

Your constant insults are distractions as are your attempted subject derailments. You've got some kind of blindness not to see where the arrogance comes from.
