Re: Confused Catholic
Shawn, if it helps regarding Mary, she was present with the Apostles at the time of Pentacost. She's everything the Catholic Church teaches. I've had a hard time with "Mother of God" for some time, even this is waning.
Take care. I have experienced some of what you mentioned of your ailments. I pray for your continued courage and perseverence.

* It's not always with Mary, it is with unbibical teachings as well..I've researched and applied the same energy toward her as other issues(purgatory, confession, papal headship) I just don't accept these!

Here is someone who can help. God bless and keep fighting those doubts and fears. Remember that only the enemy deals in fear.
