Every time I see one of these threads the child's nursery rhyme "Here we go round the mulberry bush" begins to play in my head.
The non-Catholics will begin to scream "Catholics worship Mary" and we will explain to them that appearances do not define intention. They will rant that we give her all these titles and that none of them are Biblical.
Sooner or later some one is going to throw out a comment about Presbyter vs. Priest. Then another non-Catholic will chime in that the Eucharist is not Biblical....blah, blah, blah.

Catholic will do well to remember that you can lead the horse to water, heck you can even force his head into the water, but you just can't make him drink.

...and we will explain to them that appearances do not define intention.

And I will show you stuff; from your OWN book; that says to AVOID appearances of evil; yet you dismiss them with a wave of the Imperial Hand.

Well, here’s a question..why do y’all keep throwing them out there, then? Sal is well aware after all these years that her provocative threads will INVITE controversy and disagreement. Yet she still posts the same stuff. Don’t complain about those who dispute the elitist conclusions, target the ones who start the ball rolling in the first place! That “horse” has company.

Dude, you started one of your own a week or so ago. What in the world are you fussing about?
