Matthew:19.14
Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."

O Sacrament Most Holy 🥺
@CardinalBCupich@ChicagoDNC24 There’s no need to give attention to this cardinal, hopefully he realizes that he had nothing to do there. Matthew 10:33 is for him.
@TheDustyChuck@Burgess7281975 And since you quoted the gospel of Luke, why don’t you go a little before chapter 11 and read Luke 1:40-45 Are you saying the Lord contradicts Elizabeth? Thus, saying there are contradictions in the Bible as Muslims claim?
Note: Elizabeth was filled with the HolySpirit there
@TheDustyChuck@Burgess7281975 If you understand Luke 11:27-28 literally, the you are accusing the Lord of breaking the 5th Commandment “Honor your father and mother, …” and you are also accusing the Lord when He said to the holy mother “O Woman, what have you to do with me?” in John 2:4

@TheDustyChuck@Burgess7281975 This is just in comparison to the points that were brought. Also, Did the angel tell St Joseph that he was blessed among men ? And talking about being full of grace, in this context the Greek word is “kecharitomene” which I will let you look at the meaning.
@marsh1956 The reading from the apostle John can be extended to 6:53-71
Note: When the Lord starts a teaching with “Truly, truly…” it tends to be literal
Sir I don’t think you can understand certain parts of the Bible without the sacred traditions. When Christ says “…unless you eat my flesh and drink my blood, you don’t have life in you…” in John 6:53 onwards, how do you know what He is asking us to do?
For perspective, I am age 68. Back in the 60’s & 70’s, there were literally no Bibles either for Mass or catechism class.
For Mass, there were “missilettes”. Changed each month as I recall. For catechism we had “catechism books”. I cannot speak beyond then.
Even if Bibles are more in use today, it would not be relevant. Why? Because the CC claims without evidence that tradition is equal to Scripture.
When in doubt over the centuries, it fell back on tradition & not the Bible.
This has led to much error in teaching & doctrine. The Bible is all sufficient. It is the one & only inerrant Word of God.
@marsh1956 Sir, We can go back and forth on this, but kindly consider the context of each teaching of Lord.
If you combine “John 6:53” with “Matthew 26:17-29 or Mark 14:12-25 or Luke 22:7-38” you will understand that Jesus is literally in the Eucharist.
@Chad4328 @Burgess7281975 Even Martin Luther who is the founder of your “Dogma” spoke in favor of the veneration of the Holy Mother in multiple occasions. What’s your reason for not venerating Her?
@TheDustyChuck@Burgess7281975 How many of those people or conversations you are mentioning, did the angel Gabriel appear to ? and told them explicitly that they were “…full of grace and blessed among women…” ?
