My liege, I swear an oath of loyalty to you. God save the Prince!

Hear me giving out a shriek of appreciation!

At home, I've an incredible book called "The Autobiography of a hunted priest" by John Gerard, a Jesuit priest of the reformation era. It's a adventurous tale about how he disguises as a lay person but with great accuracy and clear arguments converts even the hardest of the heretics. One day I want to be like that.

Kodos,

[Mrs. Bro. Adam]

Me? Yeah, Protestantism. Specifically, I was raised nonreligiously, became Pentecostal at 14, switched to nondenominational Evangelicalism at 18, and became Catholic at 21 (this year).

Yes. I used to be more of a stout Baptist than Brother Adam was.

a stout Baptist? was that from all of the tasty food at the church dinners?

i'm a rather stout Catholic myself, although we don't eat after Mass around here...

[Melchizedek]

[quote name='Brother Adam' date='Nov 7 2005, 06:36 PM']Just use the name "Mary" and refer to her only in what she did in the Bible and then draw a whole lotta typological references to Queen Mothers in the kingdom of Israel in the Old Testament. As long as you don't say "Blessed Virgin" or "Mary Mother of God" they keep their defenses down and actually listen for a little while.

Adam is tall and lanky, definitely not stout.

I'm not Ryan (have a mod check our ip addressed). If you're referring to the person who posted as Melchizedek spelled differently - I think he posted shortly after I did. I have posted here since shortly after I signed up.


And I don't understand why Israel having Queen Mothers makes Mary the Queen of Heaven.
