Perhaps the burden is upon Catholicism to show where this has to be done.

That would be making non-Catholics less-sinners and Catholics greater sinners. Is that your idea? Lol.
My, my SOMEone has an inflated idea about himself, perhaps.

If you knew ANYTHING about the Church you would know
*that their Judaic tradition led the way for their Apostolic Tradition.
**You would KNOW why Mary is so important.

Well, never mind,you do have your own bias, PERHAPS.
PERHAPS the LOW ROAD, the easier path, is all that that non-Catholics can do. PERHAPS they simply can't make the higher grade, can't cut the less difficult stuff.

PAX TIBI!

Suppose a lot of this “more difficult stuff” is in fact self effort that comes to vanity?

And Mary... what can I say about Mary. Excellent example of motherhood. She needed all the grace she could get so that her holy Offspring wouldn’t get her all proud like the stereotypical Jewish mother. She mostly succeeded; not entirely. That is why she needed a Deliverer too.

What in the Roman church is often attributed to the tender love of Mary... is the tender love of Jesus. Some folks have a lot of problems with “tender love of Jesus.” They might not say it, but might think down deep... this Jesus is gay or something! No normal man could be like that! And the point is that Jesus was not a normal man. He was a Hero of Heroes who did not care how little people thought of Him when He stooped very, very low.

>>Is this your opinion or do you have Bible references?<<

6. Catholics must observe the MEATLESS Fridays during Lent and on Ash Wednesday Protestants don't have to do this. <<

I've reposted the original question for context.

Your answer has nothing to do with the original post which questioned the necessity of having to observe what was posted in #6 above.

Not sure what this has to do with Mary. But we can discuss that on another thread.
