Move on, folks.
The Scripture account of the conversion of the penitent thief requires some tradition to clear it up. Now it is an ancient tradition that the penitent thief was on the right hand of the Cross; and it seems likely that Mary, if she moved about, would yet stand most upon that side, as S. John would feel it the place of honour, and yield it to her. S. Ephrem attributes the conversion of the thief to her intercession. (Livius, 299)
so 'glad' Richard of St. Laurence felt 'authorized' to speak for our Lord Jesus Christ.
Contenson places on the dying lips of Jesus these merciful words: 0 men, be hold your Mother! My Wounds are the sources of grace, but their streams, their currents, are spread abroad only by the channel of Mary.' (Eymard, 204)
This is true of most religious error, whether in Rome or anywhere else.
Always stick with God's Word, and examine everything in the Light of His Truth. If you don't, just like Eve, God's Word gets embellished, misquoted, and eventually ignored. The moment you exalt the reasoning of some man or theologian above God's Truth, you are in trouble. The article clearly points out the danger of the opinions of men, and how they quickly depart from the Truth. With just a few moments of careful study of God's Word, all the error above would have been quickly abandoned. A vigilant body of Believers who knew God's Word should have quickly corrected such errors. Instead, they were allowed to fester and grow, leading folks further away from the Truth. Now, we also have to contend with Arguments From Age, since Kermit the Hermit wrote something in the 6th century that was not properly disputed and corrected, it is now seen by the religious to be equal or superior to Scripture!
God gave us His Word and the Holy Spirit for a reason - so that you would know His Truth, and the Truth sets you free from the father of lies.
Wait......I know........I bet them Catholics got it pulled!!
You exposed the great conspiracy.......ROFLOL!!
In his usual pattern of error, Kauffman takes two rather florid late-Victorian pieces of devotional literature and pretends that Catholics elevate them to the status of Sacred Tradition. Uh, no, sorry, Timmy, no more so than e.g., Spurgeon's sermons are "sacred tradition" for Protestants.
Ayup. Right on schedule... the anti-Catholic express.
I don’t suppose you’ve found the Scripture which teaches “sola Scriptura” yet, have you?
Sure a LOT of guessin’, speculatin’ and imaginin’ going on here!
