Mohammed actually led the muslims away from the God of Abraham to believing in the non existent moon god Allah.

...it’s only when Mary is used as a substitute for Jesus that we get ticked off.

Then you have no cause to be ticked off at the Catholic Church.

I think we would have unity if Maryiolgy was ignored on both sides. Then perhaps we would have unity but probably not until.

Er, well... then there's that whole infallibility thing, and that whole pope thing... Not so easy.

Yes. God wanted Jesus to have brothers and sisters.

If Mary hadn’t said yes, he’d have found someone else. Then you could worship Rachel, or Betty, or Jemima.

LOL!

Nice slap in the face to other members of the body of Christ, the true church.

God wanted Jesus to have brothers and sisters.

Chapter and verse for that? Or is it a Tradition of Men?

Man, wouldn’t that have been nice? And God could have held reign over a bunch of boring robots.

Quit claiming you can know people's hearts, any more than I can.

After reading some of these “interpretations” of Catholic doctine and beliefs, one has to wonder what lies in the hearts of some of these “Christians”.

They seem to be filled with hate. Either that or they are really just meeting low expectations of so many. Perhaps we should have a literacy test on these threads?

Well then you should never get ticked off. Since Catholics never use Mary as a subsitute for Jesus.

A sufficiently-accurate literacy test would mean the end of the comments you decry.

God had a plan and all the Bible characters were part of the plan. They were not the WHOLE plan but a part of it, as was Mary.

I agree.

Just not in the way you might imagine.
