stanne: loving and respecting Mary but stopping short of venerating her is neither hatred nor demonic. It is self-hatred on the part of Catholics who feel persecuted or outraged by other Christians because we differ on the fine points. That war should have ended centuries ago. Both branches of the church, and also the Orthodox branch, have strong points and weak points; and there are many who earnestly seek Christ outside of any organized church, in view that there is widespread corruption and infiltration by communists, socialists, feminists and homosexualists in all churches at this time in history. How else will God know who keeps faith and runs the race to the end?
All Christians and Jews now have a barbarically violent, worldwide common enemy and need to be charitable towards one another. We should all be pursuing purity, forgiveness, grace and mercy in Christ in our hearts; and they are not easily found.
Lost me in the first nonsensical sentence. And i NEVER listen to theology from non referenced nor non credetialed sources
Not ever
We don’t worship Mary. The source for that is all of catholic teaching that means bible, catechism and tradition
The burden of proof is on the accuser
They can state where in any of these three sources they find it it one single sentence or leave it alone
Period
