That's not "Doctrine"; that's Tradition! No different that keeping a vase of ashes of "Aunt Betty" on the mantle.
Catholic "Relics" are not ashes of the dead........they are literal body parts, in many cases.
Organs.......skin.......and more.
There is a huge collection of dead body parts, in the Vatican.
"body parts'..........
Understand?
No CHRISTIAN is going to keep a body part of their deceased relative......
Would all be kind of hard to discuss without completely derailing this thread. Besides, by the time I finished researching all of those talking points, the Rapture would have probably already taken place.![]()
It does not matter what you do with the info, as you are lost in Catholic Cult Tradition.
So, im writing to you, for the benefit of some of these Members, who had NO IDEA what your cult teaches, and does, and worships, and proclaims.
No, it's belief system is based on the NT...AND the OT (that is, before any books were removed)...AND the writings of the church father's...AND the writings of Saints...AND...the list goes on.
The true understanding of how the bible is viewd by the cult of mary, is simple.
It teaches that the bible is "incomplete" and so, the Cathoic leadership......adds to the bible, whatever they dream up next about Mary, for example to "complete it".
There is nothing in a NT, written by Paul or Peter, or James, or any apostle..... that elevates Mary to the position of authority that you find as "cult of mary" doctrine.
The Gospel says....>"Mary is blessed among women" and the "cult of Mary" redefined this as Blessed above them, as "co-author" of Salvation.
You will never find an Apostle "praying to mary" or "praying to a saint" or even suggesting it, as this is all man made "cult of mary" religious nonsense.
