I’m Catholic and really don’t give a sh!t what your opinion of the BVM is. Sanctimonius creep.

I can tell you are Catholic by the way you curse me out. I have no idea what BVM is. I’m not sanctimonious - just saying what I believe. I said the Catholics are correct on the Trinity but disagree with them on the doctrine of Mary. How is that being sanctimonious? My, my, name calling is such a Christian thing isn’t it? I reset my case.

Ok, I think BVM refers to the Blessed Virgin Mary. Yes, she was blessed because she was chosen to bring forth our Savior. However, we are never taught to worship her or that she can intercede for us. The Bible says there is only ONE mediator between God and man, and that is Jesus Christ.

If you’ll read the Scriptures, you will find Mary worshiping Jesus - not even the apostles would allow others to worship them - even though some tried. Mary was chosen for a very special purpose in life, as each of us is. Yes, Christ was born of a virgin, but you do realize that she had other children after marrying Joseph? She was a virgin because she never had sex with a man until after marriage.
