    How do Catholics try to explain the Glories of Mary to a protestant?

    nothing is wrong, but more of how do you explain certain words used here to rationalize the difference between honor and giving praises worthy to God? "Mary rescues her servants" and some other phrases. How and what does one say to clarify how this is not the same form of things that we can only...

    How do Catholics try to explain the Glories of Mary to a protestant?

    sure.. but the verbage in the "glories of mary", how does one explain it because it can offend the sensibilities of the common non-catholic.

    How do Catholics try to explain the Glories of Mary to a protestant?

    yes.. but in regards to those statements, how can you explain those words to not be crossing the line of idolatry to a protestant who thinks it is?

    How do Catholics try to explain the Glories of Mary to a protestant?

    While that would be great to talk about, I think that may cause this to stray away from the topic. We can have this question asked once a few people answer the initial question.

    How do Catholics try to explain the Glories of Mary to a protestant?

    The Glories of Mary seem to be one of the biggest things a protestant shows to support their argument of Catholics crossing the line with Mary. https://www.gutenberg.org/files/72411/72411-h/72411-h.htm We catholics have articulated well as to how we don't worship Mary, defending any objections...

    What is your stance on Churches inviting and praying with LGBT?

    If had pride symbolism, or anything promoting LGBT then it would be confirming, but having a mass for this specific demographic is something I don't think is wrong. Church in general is for the sinner, it's just this group has been portrayed to be something more intolerable than many other...

    What is your stance on Churches inviting and praying with LGBT?

    For them, yes. I do think a mass for them is needed because this group has been told over and over again that "God hates them". Maybe seeing others who are on the same boat trying to come to God is not such a bad thing.

    What is your stance on Churches inviting and praying with LGBT?

    I get that. The word "pride" mass is something i don't like. In fact, the term "Pride" as a way to classify this movement is jarring to me. I get what you are saying. My opinion on "pride mass" is the same as if churches made a "Maga mass", political movements should be taken out of church. This...

    What is your stance on Churches inviting and praying with LGBT?

    If they were sincere they wouldn't be in the mafia after that (or before that). They did seem like regulars, or at least i think they were.

    What is your stance on Churches inviting and praying with LGBT?

    It seems to be a problem when lgbt people are in. For some reason, they seem to be there for more honest reasons than many i've met in church. I've been to a mass that was loaded with mafia guys inside of it. Scary stuff.

    What is your stance on Churches inviting and praying with LGBT?

    agreed. How about conducting services for them? Is that wrong?

    What is your stance on Churches inviting and praying with LGBT?

    Has the orthodox ran into this controversy? I'm seeing both Catholic and Protestant churches having a bit of that flag.

    What is your stance on Churches inviting and praying with LGBT?

    I live near Hoboken, NJ, and recently, a Pride Mass at a local Catholic church stirred a lot of controversy among Catholics. https://www.tfp.org/pride-mass-at-catholic-church-wounds-the-sacred-heart/ Personally, I’m politically independent and prefer to assess situations based on context, not...

    Question to protestants about Faith Alone

    Jeff is an arrogant protestant. those nuns of yours were also arrogant and they should be put in their place. These days, do they go around abortion protests just to gloat about knowing God more than the other christian?

    Question to protestants about Faith Alone

    We share the same beliefs just under different perspectives. The apostles had different perspectives on things so it should be expected from the churches that came from them.
