And everyone who blathers on and on about Mary [both sides], should really take a long look at the time they are wasting doing so.

Do you ever see Protestants post threads with titles like, The Perpetual Fertility of Mary, or Mary Was A Sinner Just Like The Rest Of Us??? Nope, you don't...

This posting of blather is a one way deal and Protestants spend their time defending the dignity of Mary as well as the only mediator between God and man, the Lord Christ Jesus...There is no blather in defending the words of God...

If Catholics wouldn't post these fairy tales, we wouldn't have to come to the aid of the truth of the scriptures on those matters...

Preach it, brother.

It is interesting that when I suggested a reason for the Bible to refer to ‘the sons of Alpheus’ and names James and John as brothers of Jesus, my suggestion -NOT FOUND IN THE BIBLE- is rejected because it is not in the Bible yet many of the dogmas of catholiciism are not found in the Bible either! [Mary could have had a second husband and children by him if Joseph died while Mary was still of child bearing age.]

At least there was ONE woman with 'dignity' in Jesus' lineage!
