Ha!
How many of our now PROTESTANT FReepers get this very same treatment from our Catholic Freepers?
"You ain't a CATHOLIC so your words do not matter!"
But I'd be the first to note that there are some Protestants who are more Catholic than the Pope.
Nevertheless, your comment is not relevant to my post. The context is that in his thoughts on the BVM, Tertullian was relying on his own notions, not on receiving and handing on the actual experience and practice of the Church, based on the Apostles. In this sense, Tertullian and Pope Francis might have a lot in common.
