Are you in favor of the Fifth Marian dogma that would officially declare Mary to be co-redemtrix, Helper and Advocate.....?
Bear in mind, these are already being done by Jesus (Redeemer and Advocate) and the Holy Spirit (Helper and Advocate).
It’s not a solemnly defined dogma. It is a teaching of the Ordinary Magisterium. As such, every Catholic is required to assent to it.
Saint Paul urges us to offer prayers, intercessions, etc., for one another. This is in no way a usurpation of the functions of Christ and the Holy Spirit. There is therefore no rational basis for holding that if Christians IN HEAVEN offer prayers, intercession, etc., that they are usurping the functions of Christ or the Holy Spirit.
My mother, when she was living in Baltimore, prayed and interceded for me. It is totally irrational to hold that my mother, now that she is living in Heaven, CANNOT pray and intercede for me.
It is preposterous to hold that a Christian can pray in Baltimore, but cannot pray in Heaven.
I am astounded when people can’t stick to the subject of the thread — The Our Father.
Do you say it?
