First of all, you better check your sources. I did not call you a chauvanist, and I don’t particullary like being accused of something I did not do or say.
No double standard, but you are right when you say “what do I know. I’m not Catholic”. You are demonstrating that you have a preconceived notion, and you are not willing to change, even with proof.

Try reading Luke 1:48. I will even quote from the KJV since I am pretty sure that is the one you would use. Bolding Mine.
That’s funny. In all the threads I have read, and been involved in, I have never run across a single post where a Catholic has stated they are afraid to pray to God directly. If you are going to make such a claim, you need to provide a link to a post or thread. Otherwise, you are merely grasping at straws with this, and it definitely lessens what credibility you might have
Since Jesus granted Mary’s request at the wedding of Cana, and scriptures indicate that all generations will call her blessed, it is reasonable to believe that he would listen, or take into account the wishes of his mother.
I’ve given you one reference already in Luke 1:48 for Mary.
I have seen you use this statement before, on other posts. If you are OK, with what I and other Catholics believe, then why are you here?
Computers aren’t mentioned either. Maybe he should turn his off now…It must truly be a great life you live, being so much smarter than 2000 years of history and all the most knowledgable people in the Church. I mean by just reading the bible you could figure out that the Church was, is and always will be destined for hell because we worship Mary.
We try constantly to explain the teachings of Mother Church but some of you people are just too smart for us lowly Catholics. I think I’ll just quit trying, I’ll never get it.
By the way Mr Bible man, what kind of vehicle do you use to get around? Donkey or camel, as cars and trucks cannot be found in the bible.
“Not all is written…” can you find where I found this?
I said that Mary is a great example for us to imitate Christ. Did I say that Mary is divine?
Jesus
dissed His mother?? So He broke one of the 10 Commandments, and that means----all of us are going to hell**.
eat, drink & be merry, tomorrow we die. And it doesn’t matter how much we carry on; we’re all going to hell anyhow.
“Cruisin” told me s
h, wait…“Some poster named Cruisin”?** It is ALL about intercessory prayer.**

I see that you are new to the forums, having joined just two days ago. So, welcome!
Many Protestants hit the forums with “guns blazing” eager to show Catholics the “error of their ways.” I had a bit of an attitude, myself, when I first came to the forums. That attitude was duly adjusted over time. I learned a great deal about Christian charity from the Catholics on these forums.
Ask questions, debate issues, state your beliefs, agree, disagree. The forums are designed for this. However, I would urge you to, at least, consider what others have to say. You don’t have to agree.
Keep in mind that most people will give your posts greater consideration, if you post with Christian charity and respect–which will not diminish the passion of your beliefs.
Christ called us to love one another. It is easy to forget that, when discussing the issues. I know, because I have had to go back and apologize to people a number of times. And I’m sure there were apologies due, that I never gave.
Just a few words of “unsolicited advise.”
In Christ,
Anna

Did nobody ever teach you, when you were growing up, that you should never take names to yourself? Because someday,
Roses are reddishJesus
- That means that He was not without sin.
- Since Jesus was not sinless, His sacrificial death on the cross was of no effect.
- Since Christ’s death & resurection are of no effect, we a=have no Saviour.
I understand and I thank you for you advise. However, Scripture can never be diminished in the light of anything, whatever or whoever it may be. In this particular instance, this is exactly what is at hand.Proallen,

If Mary was your Mother,what would you do, honor Her are Not, The Cathloic DOES not worshipp Mary we Honor Her as the Mother of God.
I do not bow to my mother and ask for things that only God can grant. That’s the big difference.
Unfortunately, it appears you are putting your interpretation on what other people are doing.
What is it with you?? I told you what I witnessed for years and you are calling me a liar. How much more in denail can a person be? Bowing to statues, crawling around for hours crying and petitioning Mary for special favors while ignoring Christ is the ultimate display of idolotry.
I do not bow to me Mother,big difference but I horon My Mather
