I trust the Bible, and I trust the Church, which, under divine inspiration, compiled the Bible, including the parts which the Jews rejected after the Ascension of Our Lord. The same Church, also divine inspiration, solemnly declared at the Council of Ephesus that the Blessed Virgin Mary was Theotokos, and at the Second Council of Nicaea, repudiated iconoclasm as heresy.
Who do you think are the pagans who made that?
Or rather, which anti-Catholic website says that the Catholics did.
My Goddaughter, who went to the Vatican to study liturgical art says it’s not there.
Someone put a modern Jesus being held by his mother on the back of a classic crucifix. Probably for sale for 20 Lire.
Or maybe some freakout non-Catholic did it for an “ah-ha” moment.
Post it again, it makes my day!
Hegewisch Dupa is saying that some Non-Catholics believe that when we die, we are not alive.
I think you need to read some of the conversations between Hegewisch Dupa and Judith Anne.
You are mistaken. Hegewisch Dupa is a FRiend of mine, and an excellent FReeper on the Religion Forum
Flee from anti-Catholic websites, no matter how good they feel.
This is where you cute picture comes from.

The "sick soul" part I'll have a tougher time arguing against, for sure...
You post regularly and mostly from the Pauline Epistles.
I don’t need to post scripture, although I have. Scripture is not my only authority. On the other hand, while I revere the Holy Bible, I take it as a whole, not a partial verse at a time.
Bless you both for covering my back; God knows I give it enough chance to be attacked. (And it’s a frightening large area to cover too....)
I took what he said is Mary our Mother is dead.
That is like saying Mary went to Hell.
That is really mentally sick.
I really wish our Catholic brothers/sisters who start these threads would put them in lock down as they do with Daily Mass threads ect.
There is no good IMHO coming out of all the poking and prodding coming from the anti Catholics who find delight in being psuedeo intellects.
I am voicing my opinion.
Think what you want.
As others here have stated the Catholic Ping lists that have been here for close to a decade do not go poking around other Christian threads being nasty/foul.
Ya’ll our hate filled towards Catholics and it is not cool.
>>I took what he said is Mary our Mother is dead.<<
No, seriously. HD is one of us.
It is exactly, precisely because it was such a sick thought that I pointed it out. It’s the only conclusion you can come to when someone says a necromancer prays to the dead, and that someone is a necromancer for saying the rosary. The poster, in order to believe that saying the rosary is akin to calling upon the dead HAS to, by their own definition, contend that Mary’s soul is dead. Sick is right. Hell, “sick” isn’t a strong enough word.
If I misinterpeted you post I apologize.
I thought you posted Mary was a dead soul
Sorry.
I am Catholic. I have been fighting the anti-Catholic bigots on the RF for years.
If you can’t see that, no problem. Pax!
No problem, my FRiend.
no - bless you - seriously, that is about as legit a subject to fire anyone’s righteous indignation. Which is seriously what I meant to do in the first place - just not at me! My writing just wasn’t good enough to keep ME out of the line of fire. Bless you for fighting the good fight.
You’re right about the girls rosaries.
I gave each of my girls a rosary bracelet for First communion!
Well I get confused with all the anti Catholic vile being thrown around.
I am new to being exposed to it.
I apologize to you and others who defending our faith for my mistake/confusion.
I wish these Catholic threads would be locked down to keep the disrupters off of them.
It messes up the unity and sharing of our faith I enjoy coming here for.
I just came home about 5yrs ago....and it was because of Salvations Daily Mass and events off of the internet that brought me home.
But I dont mind ya’ll (Catholic family) setting me straight.
>>I have been fighting the anti-Catholic bigots on the RF for years.<<
And they still post the same stupid pictures and the same boring phrases. Don’t they JA?
*sigh*
Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.
