Absolute nonsense. There is no “larger truth” that can bend or alter the laws of logic. A syllogism is either formally valid or formally invalid. The TERMS in the syllogism have absolutely nothing to do with the FORMAL validity or invalidity of the syllogism.

Anyone who claims the authority to disregard logic is claiming the authority to contradict himself, and to contradict oneself is to murder one’s own intellect or soul, e.g., as when one commits perjury.

It's still the application which is the error. Otherwise, we'd leave it at Timmy the fireman, and his mommy.

It's only partial error, but it's enough.

I see you just won't step away from this hobby-horse though, not matter how many ways it's been shown (from a year or more ago?) to not be a good fit for the sought for application.

It's the syllogism itself which is the problem -- because it does not reflect the actual truth of the matter, but instead is an oversimplified version of the relationship (more on par with how strictly human relationships go, not fully God and fully human relationship).

But there ARE appearences by 'Mary' that can 'bend or alter' the laws of Rome.
