traichuoi Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 i think people usually have an equally difficult time with the Immaculate Conception and Assumption...but the other ones are still pretty up there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

socalscout Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 Somebody ask Bruce, Circle and Mulls. I find it is Mother of God but they will argue until red in the face about perpetual virginity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellenita Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 Immaculate Conception - if you don't accept that then you won't accept any of them. There has even been anglican bishops who have said it's not necessary to believe it! Jake, great website address - thanks! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laudate_Dominum Posted January 24, 2004 Author Share Posted January 24, 2004 There has even been anglican bishops who have said it's not necessary to believe it! I actually can't say I'm surprised, some of the most vile nonsense I've ever heard in my life has come from Anglican bishops. Their ordination isn't valid so I feel weird calling them bishops. Dudes dressed up like bishops maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopeful1 Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 Somebody ask Bruce, Circle and Mulls. I find it is Mother of God but they will argue until red in the face about perpetual virginity. I hear you on the perpetual virginity and it's true! In fact i even had to defend some mary stuff to the guy that does the bible study at my church and this is one of the guys that makes me proud to call myself a Catholic (kinda of like Ironmonk, minus the kung-fu). So i had to do some research and showed it to him, and he was quite impressed. It takes him awhile to study and digest some heavy stuff like that, but eventually he comes to the point "if the church teaches it, it must be true!", but he's already accepted IC and Ark of the New Covanant (ala Scott Hahn) so we're working on it! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sraf Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 I said 'Mother of God.' I've noticed a lot of misunderstandings and assumptions that we worship Mary, including vandalism of statues of Mary. We don't - I go to a school that's named after her, and we don't worship Mary! [i]Revere[/i] her, yes. In my case, see her as a way to approach the divine Feminine aspect of God? Yep. Very interesting, too. But [i]worship[/i]? No. I was also visiting a baby-names website and perusing the list of names that people hate (to appease my inner sadist) and 'Mary' turned up, and the submitter said that Mary was, if you took off the Christian rose-glasses, just like any of the mortal women in Greek myths whom some male deity had just picked out because she was good-looking to bear a son. This really disgusted me at the time (for obvious reasons), and now I can look at it as a way to point out, "Say, we Catholics may need to polish up our image of Mary!" "Life is a preparation for death." Interesting. (Oh, yes, and [b]Laudate Dominum[/b], er... ah... if you think I'm being flaky, you can PM me, or just accept what I say now: I'm a rather confused individual who sometimes speaks before thinking about it. Sorry?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pio Nono Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 JMJ 1/7 - St. Raymond of Pegnafort Mother of God. I can't convince my seventh graders of it. I refuse to move on until they accept it. From [i]The World's First Love[/i], by Servant of God Fulton J. Sheen... [quote]I never could see why anyone in this day and age should object to the Immaculate Conception; all modern pagans believe that they are immaculately conceived. If there is no Original Sin, then [i]everyone[/i] is immaculately conceived. Why do they shrink from allowing to Mary what they attribute to themselves?[/quote] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetpea316 Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Immaculate Conception was hard for me to wrap my brain around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thy Geekdom Come Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 I think the Immaculate Conception is central to every other Marian dogma...and I think it's the least understood. I know very intelligent FUS students who've told me that they believe it out of obedience, but really don't get why the Church teaches it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tojo Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 The Immaculate Conception. Understand and accept that doctrrine, and you're already half-way there with the other three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
