"The main problem with criticism of Catholic devotion to Mary is the basic Protestant mindset. Because Catholics venerate Mary, non-Catholics assume that this devotion must take the place of proper devotion to the Lord Jesus. They see the whole question in terms of either/or when it is really both/and." -Dwight Longenecker

About Me
- Adam the Catholic
- Ohio, United States
- I'm just a regular guy. Got'a wife and kid. I use to go to Mass most weeks, and that was enough "God" for me. Our Lord thought otherwise. My life fell apart in every aspect. When I was broken and lost I called out to the Lord. I said I'll serve you if you'll have a lowely sinner. That bout sums it up. "What man among you having a hundred sheep and losing one of them would not leave the ninety-nine in the desert and go after the lost one until he finds it? And when he does find it, he sets it on his shoulders with great joy" Luke 15:4-5

I wish you would have commented on this quote. How long have you been Catholic, and what were your feelings about Mary, before joining the Church ... and how do you feel about her now.
Merci for all the thought provoking notes. I really enjoy reading how your mind evolves.

Thanks for your Blog :) God Bless you
Isn't Protestantism just another form of relativity? They promote "winds of doctine" produced in their own mind and it becomes truth for them.
In refferance to Anonymous's comment.
I think there is some truth to you'r comment but only in you're first sentance. The majority of protastants are honestly seeking God. Honestly seeking truth. To sugest they produce doctern in their mind, then believe it is truth, takes out of context there motivation to serve OUR Lord. They worship the same God we do.
Yes some of there theology has to do with relativism. But most protestants: 1 don't relize it. 2 didn't have anything to do with the development of there doctern.

To answer Macile,
The only justace I could do in commenting on Dwight Longenecker's quote is standing up and clapping my hands. He points out it's not an "either/or" issue.
I've been Catholic all my life. Well...maby not the first month or so.
How do I feel about Mary? I feel blessed more than I deserve to have the Mother of God "Theotokos" for my mother too. I truly believe Mary's intersession had alot to do with my comming back home to Rome.
