Why don't you ask a few Catholics and see what they say, you know, to get a general idea?

Good Idea!

Hey FR Catholics!!

Why do you obsess over Mary so much?

Why write this post to me?

Fwiw, I'm not a member of any church. I'm a non-denominational believer. Always have been and still am.

And, fwiw, I don't claim to "see", but I am open to the Holy Spirit showing me whatever and teaching me as He wishes.

Perhaps it's because of all the science fiction and fantasy I read and watched growing up that my mind and imagination are not as bound and tied by worldly rationality as with some? I dunno...

Whatever the reason(s), I don't seem to suffer the doubts and fears that other Protestant believers seem to have about the supernatural aspects of Jesus and JudeoChristianity, including those about Mary.

To me, the miracles written about in the Scriptures barely scratch the surface of the infinite Holy possible.

In this regard, based upon what I've learned so far, the Catholics have a richer spiritual relationship and understanding of and with Heaven and hell.

This could be early senility, but kinda like with little kids, Jesus is my very real imaginary friend and I talk to Him quite a lot these days. I really like the Jesus prayer and maybe one day I'll add the Hail Mary to my repertoire, too.

To answer your question to FR Catholics, I don't obsess over Mary, but I am curious about Mary and I am open to Heaven and whomever Jesus sends to us.

In this, you worry me about you, LC. Fwiw, you do claim to "see" and sometimes I truly wish you would not let your inner scribe and Pharisee get the better of you on these threads.
