IMO, the doxology is irrelevant because it is recited as part of the liturgy. It is neither an addition or a subtraction but a tradition that Protestants kept.

“WAR ON CHRISTMAS” DOES NOT LACK FOR EVIDENCE The “War on Christmas” began in the 1980s with legal challenges to nativity scenes on public property, and then morphed into a multicultural rage in the 1990s. It peaked around 2005-2008, and then subsided. The anti-Christmas forces are still out...

You don't know when to quit.

The only reason you brought this topic up is to beat Catholics with it. It takes a lot of reading to get historical context and most people can't be bothered. The Truth about the Spanish Inquisition - Crisis Magazine (not Catholic) Protestantism: Historic Persecution & Intolerance (Index Page)...

Don't forget to include the tormented phase of the Protestant Inquisition which was was worse than anything Catholics were guilty of. Protestant Inquisitions: "Reformation" Intolerance & Persecution Funny how nobody ever hears about that. Maybe it's because we have better things to do with our...

They never are. But if you mean the Inquisitions, they were never a teaching. It's not so simple.

The perspective of the Inquisitions is totally warped. But has been used as a bat to beat Catholics with. Public views are still dependent on outdated information. What is commonly accepted as Inquisition material is no longer taught in bible colleges. We can all stop laughing at Monty...

Peter? What does he know? Acts 1:13 - Peter is first when entering upper room after our Lord's ascension. The first Eucharist and Pentecost were given in this room. Acts 1:15 - Peter initiates selection of a successor to Judas right after Jesus ascended into heaven, and no one questions him...

Maybe we should go over Protestant terms that are not found anywhere in the Old or New Testament. "Hollow rock". That's bizarre. "You are Peter and upon this hollow rock I will build my Church." That makes no sense. And where in scripture does Jesus mix his metaphors? This has nothing to do...

This is completely contrary to an army of Protestant scholars who author bible reference manuals. Shall I add to BofL list?

The persecution from insane Protestants was worse than anything Catholics were guilty of, you just can't bear to face the truth of the matter. Protestant Inquisitions: "Reformation" Intolerance & Persecution All citation are from Protestant and secular scholars (which you never provide) The...

Revelation 11:19, Rev. 12:1-6 The first level of "proof" would be the literal interpretation of the text itself, in which we see that this Woman gives birth to a Son, Whom the Dragon wishes to destroy. All commentators agree that the Son is Jesus Christ--and the Dragon is explicitly identified...

SEXUAL DEVIANTS WHO TRASHED CATHOLICISM Many of those public figures who are now in the hot seat over allegations of sexual misconduct have a record of bashing Catholicism, oftentimes for the sexual offenses of a tiny minority of priests. To read our account of who they are, and what they said...

He can't. post 260, 261, 262 all based on sola scriptura, destroys the 19th century myth. He is forced to ignore the multitude of scriptures.

The BIBLICAL rule of faith is Tradition, Scripture, and the Teaching Authority (Magisterium). They are NOT equal, they are complementary. They all work in harmony, and one is not over the other.

The myth of "Mary worship" never ends. Why can't you guys say the truth for a change? It's only been explained a million times on thousands of forums every day! You just like making things up to undermine the Church. It's immoral! Much is made of the title Queen of Heaven by those who attack...

ok.

I showed you clearly and explicitly what scripture says, it doesn't fit with your preconceptions. You should try refuting my post with scripture instead of crying about it. You have it backwards. The Church has always relied on the Bible as as primary source for doctrine. You haven't said...

Still playing devil's advocate, I can imagine only one reason why the Synoptics would 'demote' Jesus' mother like this; since ALL THREE refer to her as 'his mother' earlier in their Gospels. Perhaps, as some have argued, the Synoptics are UNDERLINING their accounts in Matt 12:46, Mark 3:35, and...

CONCLUSION So, with all this evidence in mind, I hold that: (1) John's 'Mary the wife of Clopas ' is the same person as the Synoptics' 'Mary the mother of James and Joseph/Jose' (the Mary of the cross/tomb accounts). (2) This Mary is in turn the 'sister' (i.e., close tribal relative) of...
