Actually, I’d be interested to know what your response is to ex-snook’s question: “You don’t have to believe [prayers to Mary are effacious], but why bother others?”
I ask (or repeat ex-snook’s question) because while you are one of the regular anti-Catholics who inhabit these threads, my personal experience with you has been that at least you seem to understand what is asked and/or presented to you in argument and thus respond appropriately. (Of course we Catholics still disagree with your responses but you get the idea I’m sure)
So what’s your reply? Why do you seem to care so much about other Christians’ particular beliefs? What does it matter?
