Right.. It's going to be a LONG holiday of -=A=- and the family..
All of us have been presented doctrine that can take us on a sidetrack to prove Cathloic's wrong or our brand of thinking right.. When you get around to looking at it from another perspective you get to gain insight into how such traditions as Mary worship and other things got integrated into the faith.. *Just like RoyalRangers is only for men. I'm on that path.. that *Wilderness path to gain insight into the many-many who found that their convictions were not in harmony with the teaching given them from their fathers.. *yet choose to find another way, and live with residual guilt from the cultureal stigma. Fact number one... Salvation is by grace, and given evidence by word(acceptence) and by (action) baptisum. It's far easier to be a Royal Ranger Cristian than a practiceing Cathloic<G> Imergeing fact number two... While not all Cathloics are "saved".. many are true Christians! We have 2,000 years of dis-information and gone off track program.. Our hearts may be more right than our words and mind allow<G> So.. if suddenly right now you feel a rejection of the Pope or remember some brother shareing the cathloic church was "the whore of babaloyn".. or find trouble with Mary "queen of heaven" or you are recycleing some memory action by the nuns with a ruler<G> *Just consider loveing people who love Jesus... We are all children of God. -=A=- --- Mike Burke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > What do you mean "Worshipped" Mary in the past tense? They still do! > They > hadn't changed that.
