The ancient Roman prison where Sts. Peter and Paul were once confined has been re-opened to visitors after a year-long renovation.

The Mamertine prison, also known as the Carcer Tullianum, is a 3,000-year-old structure, located near the Roman Forum. The church of San Giuseppe dei Falegnami now stands above it, and in the prison itself there is an altar so that Mass can be celebrated at the site where the apostles were jailed.

The renovations to the prison include the introduction of a multimedia tour, which allows visitors to learn more about any facet of the building and its history by selecting items on a touch-pad screen.

Magic thinkers truly believe that some “supernatural forces” made Mary into a sinless woman worthy of adoration/veneration. Same with all the saints.

1 Timothy 2:5 goes right over their head.

SMH....

Good point!
And worth repeating. Mary knew she was a sinner and in need of salvation - I’ve posted those verses above.
John likewise said this in John 3:27-30

27 To this John replied, “A person can receive only what is given them from heaven. 28 You yourselves can testify that I said, ‘I am not the Messiah but am sent ahead of him.’ 29 The bride belongs to the bridegroom. The friend who attends the bridegroom waits and listens for him, and is full of joy when he hears the bridegroom’s voice. That joy is mine, and it is now complete. 30 He must become greater; I must become less.”

The mental gyrations are well illustrated in the posts of one catholic trying to harass Greybeard in this very thread (posts 74, 76, 78, and 80). Jesus spoke of these who will try to argue with GOD, to whom HE will say ‘Depart from Me, I never knew you.’

I agree - and very sad but true.
