Immaculate Conception

Here is an excellent and thought provoking blog by David G. Bonagura, Jr. on Catholics, Protestants, and Immaculate Mary that appeared in The Catholic Thing yesterday on the Holy Day of Obligation for the Feast of the Immaculate Conception.  In my view the second paragraph explains a lot about our tendency to simply talk in circles when it comes to the points of Christian Theology that we disagree on.  It is much like trying to put a log back together after it has been split in half in a log splitter or by an ax or wedge driven down the center blow by blow.  Please give this a good read....it should come in handy for you as you work to explain your Catholic Faith to some of our Protestant brothers and sisters.

    That is indeed helpful--I had never considered Luther's teaching in the vlight of that perspective on division. --MKJ

    Glad you found it a helpful perspective. Another analogy would be that the whole of Catholicism is a fully functioning organism and when you go lopping parts off here and there it cannot function properly.
