Those better not be playing cards you're carrying!

I wonder if Catholics came up with the playing card idea like in Iraq, who would be the Ace of Spades? Mary or Jesus? :-)

Already an active discussion....

However, neither Mary or Jesus would be on cards listing enemies. I presume you are proposing a deck of heroes.

I only suggest that Hearts is the proper suit for Jesus and Mary. I note the heart appearing quite frequently in RCC artwork.
