Subject: Why do catholic call Mary mother of God. |
Bible Note: Joe, Not if it meant what you think it does, for reasons I have made clear before. But we can't be sure you are correct in your assumption. I have to say I have never seen anything like what you have described. I have seen many imagas of Our Lady of Guadalupe and even have one in my home. But I have never seen one with the words around it as you describe. I would be hard pressed to say exactly what they mean to whoever produced it or is displaying it. Who is speaking the words? The Virgin to the Christ child in her womb, the Christ child in her womb to the Virgin, the owner of the truck? Whose is the voice? For all I know it could be some kind of pro life decal. Our Lady of Guadalupe is very prominent in pro life circles because Mary is depicted as pregnant in the image. You speak the language, not me. Perhaps you will be able to ask someone local about it. You can't even presume the owner is Catholic. In these parts, some Protestant Churches hang out big banner images of Our Lady of Guadalupe to draw in Hispanics. Some even celebrate the feast day of Our Lady of Guadalupe and say rosaries in those churches. I think there is some cross pollination going on here. We might have to fight back by hanging out portrait of Luther and Calvin. At least they were Catholics once. :-) By the way, I can tell my surgeon that my life is in his hands without any connotation of worship. Same goes for my daughter when she is driving and I am riding with her. Sometimes I think I put my life in your hands when I post on this forum. Figuatively and poetically, not worshipfully, speaking of course. I am not sure I fully understand your question on the Eucharist. It lacks your usual clarity. What exactly in Rev 1 are you alluding to? I see it in the other passages you cite, although you avoid the citation of the instituition narratives of the Gospels and 1 Cor 11, which are key to the doctrine of the Real Presence. Emmaus |
