Of course it's not, for those who are not.
You seem to be assuming a false binary: Faith or Fraud. Not everything is either Faith or Fraud. Some things are just Fact.
The House of Loreto having been first in Nazareth is not part of the deposit of Faith--- any more than the Law of Gravity is part of the Deposit of Faith. They both depend on evidence.
Some people credit evidence, and some do not. I understand that.
Dont get your knickers in a bunch Eagleone. I love how use the profanity card all the damn time. Dont be such a little wilting flower. What do you think I am just going to let you get away with your chronic anti catholicism?
Boring.
Science has not confirmed that the building ‘flew’ anywhere.
It’s a nice story though.
Whatever your personal limitations, though, do not tell me that I and the majority of Christians (Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, Anglicans ,Lutherans, and many other Protestants) worship Mary. You continue to slander us by repeatedly claiming that we do, and this observably manifests malice.
BTW: I have never once heard you refer to Mary as Blessed.
But despite you, Christians honor Mary at least as much as we honor our own mothers, and, as prophesied, will continue to do so for all generations.
I don’t believe the story, but the photo is not of the house. What you see in the photo was built around the exterior of the original house much later.
And the House of Nazareth shows Mary was, like almost all of her neighbors, quite poor.
That was the house where the Annunciation took place. It was not Joseph's house.
The Annunciation and Incarnation took place before Joseph had taken Mary into his home.
Sit down, junior.
I see you can't even follow one of the basic rules of this site.
This is all you have to offer to the discussion....a futile mind attempting to express itself through profanity.
Yeah, I’ve heard of it. Maybe the angels could drop our current Pope from the high side of the Grand Canyon.
Also, I find the protective nestling of this tiny stone house inside a splendid Basilica quite touching. It has echoes of the incident where the Splendid ones of the East honor the Child in the Cave: the rich honoring the poor.
I'm saying this for you, NYer. I don't think e is listening.
The truth of the Roman Catholic worship of Mary stings the Roman Catholic. I can understand why the average RC has to deny it.
Yet what is found in this house? An altar to Mary.
BTW: I have never once heard you refer to Mary as Blessed.
Nor will you....for it is but one of many titles accorded to her by Roman Catholicism which are not warranted by Scripture and stand in contradiction of Scripture.
I will ascribe to her what Scripture does... 48For He has had regard for the humble state of His bondslave; For behold, from this time on all generations will count me blessed.
But despite you, Christians honor Mary at least as much as we honor our own mothers, and, as prophesied, will continue to do so for all generations.
I assure you...there are no altars built for my mom that I kneel before and pray to...unlike what Rome has done with Mary. And please...don't trot out the laughable argument from Staples about pictures of your mom and dad. It's embarrassing for Roman Catholics to resort to that to defend their idolatry.
For My own sake, My very own sake, I will act; for how can I let Myself be defamed? I will not yield My glory to another. Isaiah 48:11 NASB
Roman Catholics might want to read Isaiah.
True Roman catholics worship Mary, Queen of heaven the church says.
Messed up crap right there.
Sounds to me like he’s aware of the evils of catholicism.
I’m pro Jesus Christ and against the true Roman catholicism cult. They don’t worship God. Only think they do. There’s a lot of articles on the subject if you want to read.
Good to see you. Great article.
.....:)
Bless you.

The church in Trsat still gets a lot of Catholic pilgrims. They have a statue of Pope John Paul II kneeling in prayer, based on photos taken when he visited the church.
Numerous contemporary examples of “Angelic Transport” exist.
For instance, just the other day a caravan of faithful peaceful people were transported thousands of miles in just a few days from Guatemala to Tijuana in hopes being resettled in America by Faithful Catholics.
Rumor has it, and it has never been found by experts to be untrue, that “Angelic Transport” also provides checks into the mailboxes of these same peaceful and faithful people with which they can pursue their Godly paths.
