    Is the Reformation to blame for Mariology abuse?

    The line of argument in the above quote appears to be argument for the sake of arguing. Since the Catholic Church already unambiguously teaches that there is one and only one saviour of humanity why play these semantic games? What does it matter if I address a Judge in the courts as "my Lord"...

    Is the Reformation to blame for Mariology abuse?

    That's like saying that folk who have an opinion with which one does not agree makes conversion to Christianity impossible. Clearly the Catholic Church not not teach that the Blessed Virgin Mary is 'co-redeemer' of humanity. And even if a title like "co-redemtrix' became an official title it...

    The Church may define doctrine but only if the doctrine is revealed by God and that almost always means revealed in holy scripture.

    False teachers

    I don't see any reason why ignorant people could not decide to believe something that well educated and heretical teachers teach. I don't see much value in blaming them for being ignorant. Edicate them, that is the best solution ....

    Job

    That God calls some men perfect and upright. There are other lessons, but that is the first ... There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil. .... And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then...

    Is the Reformation to blame for Mariology abuse?

    Yes, just as the prayer said in the rosary is ours through Blessed Mary; "Holy Mary pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death". Or "Saint Bernadette pray for me to the Lord our God". These are my prayers passed on through the saints. The saints in the two passages I quoted are saints...

    It is in the Apocalypse of of saint John the theologian: (Revelation 5:8 KJV) And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints. (Revelation...

    Is the Reformation to blame for Mariology abuse?

    I agree that some do express their respect for and honour given to Mary in effusive and sometimes disturbing terms. But I have heard people do similar things for a beloved national leader (Gandhi for example, Lincoln, Queen Elizabeth, even Napoleon) and for honoured religious teachers and those...

    Necessity and sufficiency in relation to salvation.

    Catholic and Protestant (Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox too and every one else who loves the Lord) ought to believe everything that the Lord teaches. It isn't a matter of what is essential and what is optional (or unnecessary). Everything that the Lord Jesus Christ teaches is important and ought...

    Is the Reformation to blame for Mariology abuse?

    The gospel according to saint Luke tells us that "all generations will call me blessed" (Luke 1:48) and surely that pre-dates the origins of the Protestant Revolt and the Reformation that followed it? And the honouring of the Blessed Virgin Mary was in place of many centuries before there was...

    Once saved always saved?
