Peggy Noonan: The Single Word That Changed Human History

[Miss Molly]

With well respected secular writers like Ms. Noonan singing the praises of the Catholic Mary, it won't be long before others follow suit...:tsk

Blasphemy!!!

I have to echo Mary Wells: the Virgin Mary, also known as the Blessed Mother, is the most influential and powerful woman in the world. A good portion of the 1.2 billion Catholics in the world talk to her regularly, or every day, or more, seeking help and advice. Protestants honor her singular place in history, and the Koran speaks of her with respect as well. She was a young Jewish girl when she changed human history. So you see she covers a lot of territory. She did this by saying one word: "Yes." She performs miracles. She consoles. She has come down to talk to little children; she once, in Fatima, made the sun dance to prove that she was present. She is understood as such a source of mercy that it’s a pious old joke to say that when you die, if St. Peter won’t let you in the gates you can go around the back and talk to Mary and she’ll try to get you in. But she’s very good at thwarting mischief; when old John Paul was shot, he felt certain she’d saved his life by redirecting a bullet away from his artery. She is the main source of strength to many people who happen to make the world work, who keep it running. Without her, nothing would work. She protects nations. You cannot love Mary and at the same time hold to disparaging assumptions as to the place and power of women, so she is a powerful teacher in that area, also. She is very brave but not warrior-like, very powerful but not forward or aggressive. She is, I guarantee you, a silent mainstay and great love of some of the Most Powerful Women named on this list. (Ask the U.S. Speaker of the House how she feels about her.) She is the Queen of Peace. We are lucky she is there.

"She is the Queen of Peace." Yes, according to Islam and Roman Catholicism. To born again Christians she is the mother of the Lord Jesus, and she doesn't perform miracels!!! :tsk

I would trust Cptn' Crunch before the Catholic Mary.

At least you would get breakfast!

I thought that the whole Fatima miracle thing was already proven to be a hoax. :idunno

They love hoaxes!

[Miss Molly]

I don't think so, Reckoner. My understanding is that the Fatima miracle is bigger than ever. The one thing that may have changed is that the shrine is to be an interfaith shrine. I don't know how official that is but it would not surprise me at all! :tsk

Interfaith shrine????? Like I said, they love hoaxes!

The Father in Heaven has shown that he is merifcul, righteous, and just by sending his Son the Lord Jesus Christ to die on the Cross for us. The Father will extend freely his grace to those who will accept his Son's completed work on the Cross.

Yet, man has time and time again (nothing new under the sun) has shown that he continues to walk away from God one time after another with people trying to go to "Mary" for mercy and bypass the way God has provided. :doh :doh :doh :doh :tsk

They choose to worship the creation rather than the Creator. :ohno

[Chris]

They love hoaxes!

The RCC is built upon hoaxes. You've got magical cookies, men parading around as the Lord, mother Mary in the sky with diamonds saying come to me, etc. :doh :ohno

I really can't believe people follow this stuff. Why don't they read the Word and come out of this spiritual bondage? :idunno
