[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They aren't "convincing proofs of Catholicism," lol. Assuming you have faith in them (which I, a protestant, actually do), they are proof that Mary watches over us and loves us and that miracles happen. But the Bible tells us about lots of miracles -- nothing earth shattering about that. [/quote]

Does your branch of Protestantism believe in Saints? Does it believe that the Virgin Mary was assumed into heaven? How would it explain the Virgin Mary watching over Catholics? Are you aware of a Marian apparition involving a Protestant? [/quote]
It’s very strange that you think Protestant churches should teach Catholic doctrine. [/quote]

It's not a matter of teaching.  If the Lady is real, she'd appear for anyone.[/quote]

So you reject the Tilma, healing waters, and miracle of the sun as proofs? Even though you can see the tilma even today, people are healed at Lourdes (I think 60 Minutes did a segment on this), and 70,000, including skeptics, witnessed the miracle of the sun.  Saying that it is all just a trick of the mind for 70,000 is ridiculous.  It is a Doubting Thomas mindset that unless you see with your own eyes, you will not believe.

Luke 16 
 31Then Abraham said, ‘If they will not listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded if someone should rise from the dead.’ ” New American Bible

Yes = I reject all the proofs you offer that Catholicism is the true faith.  And I'm not the only one.[/quote]

DP.  There are 1.4 billion people that disagree with you.[/quote]

See appeal to popularity point made previously. [/quote]

See "And I'm not the only one" point that you made previously.[/quote]

It was a different poster.  So, at least more than one.

All of the things you list are BS. [/quote]

Like Catholicism in general[/quote]

You are entitled to your opinion.[/quote]
