No. But I imagine it probably happened after she read the above dialog ... LOL! Just kidding.
Don't mean to be forthcoming, and forgive me if I appear that way, but there are two very interesting programs on EWTN that might clarify some of these issues. These are not lectures but informative discussions.
Saturday @ 5pm EST, 'The Truth About Scripture and Tradition', Hosted by Robert Sungenis and Patrick Madrid.
Journey Home - Hosted by Marcus Grodi - Monday @ 8pm EST.
I realize that Scott Hahn is viewed ambivalently by many protestants but I would like to share this story he told the other night on yet another discussion forum.
Shortly following his conversion to the Catholic Church, he was invited to his former Theology teacher's home. They spent 6 hours discussing the differences between Sola Scriptura vs Bible + Tradition. Scott was batting 1000 and feeling quite good when the Theology teacher brought up the feast of Mary's Assumption. Scott groped for biblical passages and eventually tossed in the towel. His Theology teacher smiled, feeling that he had won that battle. By now it was quite late and Scott went to bed, after saying a prayer to Christ and the Blessed Mother, apologizing for not defending the assumption better.
The next morning, he "slept in" and awoke to the smell of bacon frying and coffee brewing. When he came downstairs, he looked at the clock. It was 9AM. He then looked at the calendar and noted that it was December 8., the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. Not wanting to offend his hosts but, cognizant that this was his first year as a catholic and this was a "day of obligation", he asked if they knew the mass times at the local catholic church. "Of course not", proclaimed the wife but hastily grabbed the yellow pages and called the local catholic church. It was too late; he had missed the mass. She then proceeded to call several other churches with the same result. Looking harder at the yellow pages, she found a chapel in a local mall. They had a mass scheduled at 12 noon. Scott thanked them and off he went.
Following their directions, he found the mall. The small chapel was packed with holiday shoppers and it was SRO. The priest processed in ... or rather ... shuffled in to begin the mass. He moved at a snail's pace and Scott thought this would be a long mass. After the gospel, the priest came to the microphone to deliver his homily. Scott was stunned. As he phrased it, this priest delivered a homily on the Blessed Mother that rivaled the caliber of a Billy Graham sermon. He was so transfixed by the message, followed by the Offertory, the Consecration and Communion, that the mass was suddenly over. He sat down, relishing the moment.
The shoppers left and Scott was alone in the chapel. He noticed the priest return and boldly went up to him to introduce himself and congratulate the priest on a fine homily. He then told the priest that he was a recent convert to catholicism and mentioned the 6 hour conversation with his Theology teacher the previous night. He asked the priest if he knew of any books that would answer a question on the Assumption of Mary. The priest smiled. Yes, he said. There is only one book and it went out of print today. Amazed, Scott complimented him on his extensive knowledge of books. Nonsense, replied the priest. I wrote the book and the publishing house is now out of business. He invited Scott back to the Sacristy and produced two copies of his book. He inscribed the first with a personal message to Scott and his wife Beverly. The second book, he inscribed to the Theology Teacher.
Scott left for the airport to catch his flight home. When he arrived, his Theology teacher stopped by to send him off. Scott handed him the book. His teacher's jaw dropped!
