Pope Francis Entrusts Holy Land Pilgrimage to Mary

And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name. And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation. He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree. He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away. He hath helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy; As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever.

She was a brave, godly girl, the very Virgin of Israel, and mother of God with us. She did not let us down, like Eve.

Forget James Carville and look up another and more authoritative Catholic snakehead like “Uncle Teddy” Cardinal McCarrick.

If you can demonstrate McCarrick, once president of the USCCB, was in communion with Rome (i.e., the “Vatican”), you're a magician.

McCarrick, as its president, outright lied to the USCCB about Cardinal Ratzinger's instruction to prohibit pro-abortion politicians from receiving Holy Communion.

So, "No"! I will not strike the Vatican off the list you have proposed.

I take that to mean the Vatican belongs on the list of "James Carvilles", uh or Cardinal McCarrick(s) as you mentioned (whoever he is).

If Santa Clause made a list of who's naughty and who's nice (checking it twice, of course)
and was requested to formulate a challenge, would he write

Answer: Cardinal McCarrick and others of USCCB's, Vatican prelates & Magesterium, Protestant converts to [Roman] Catholicism, and Protestants in general among who knows who else
Question: [what are] Things that make the Samuel L. Jacksons of the RadTrad Romanists angry and vigorously "tired"?

or is "The Vatican" not grouped with the Cardinal McCarrick-heads?

Your answer left it less than clear to me...

Please help me, I'm falling

without a parachute...

You're "take" is wrong. Reread what I said.

Thanks for the clarification, but the way I presented the list, with a strike-through of the Vatican, in comparison to having the others ON the list, left the answer you provided;

So, "No"! I will not strike the Vatican off the list you have proposed

rather insensible, being that if the "Vatican" were to be left upon that particular list (rather than having a strike-through which the others lacked) that would leave that outfit to be grouped among those whom you rejected as "snakes" etc., provided the strike-through was removed from "The Vatican", hence the lack of clarity your mixed-up answer produced.

Going to "read it again" would be near to useless, with myself needing to guess at your own (opinion of) support for that last refuge (from snakes?) which is still not much refuge in regards to your own selection of translation for Gen 3:15.

Now that is out of the way (hopefully) and a handful of excuses has been whittled away at, will you now get around to addressing (or facing) how the Vulgate presently accessible through the auspices of "The Vatican" has been changed from it's past version, with now it being a "he" which is represented to be crushing the head of the serpent?

All this other venom which has been spewed in the course of your own replies to me, has been consistently side-stepping the issue which I have been attempting to bring to your attention.

Face it.

The Douay-Rheims is a semi-lousy translation, which even the Vatican itself officially orphaned by default, when they got around to adjusting the Vulgate to more accurately present what "majority" and "critical" of Greek texts show to be the gender of who it is written shall be doing the crushing, and in doing so have their own heel bruised.

It is not a "she" which can be seen as "Mary" herself doing the crushing.

You have yet to address that point, though I keep raising it.

There is nowhere left to turn to escape (that I know of or could imagine)...unless one desires to crawl towards Hebrew targum and/or Masoretic text.

So what now?
