One in an occasional series...Did you know that Lutheranism is an apostate hotbed of pagan Mariolatry?
You bet your sweet BVM...at least according to this fascinating expose' of Lutheran theology by David J. Stewart, disciple of one Max Younce, ThD, someone who probably wouldn't invite Herr Dr. Luther to the faculty club for a collegial beer. (Enjoy the MP3 rants.)
Meanwhile, a warning for us all from Mr. Stewart: "If you hail Mary, you're hailing Satan!"
Hey, hey, hey -- don't talk about Homegirl that way, buddy.

Even the way their "expose" was written in bright colors on dark background gives me a headache.
Such love among Christians must be an example of truth to others. What a way to lead us all to God.
What's interesting to me is the inherent misogyny of Mssrs. Stewart and Younce.
Confession - I listen to the Catholic radio station and they always have these people with beautiful calm voices saying the rosary and I listen to it...
But I can't take repetitive "For the sake of his sorrowful passion..." and turn the channel after about the 10th time they say it...
Uhhhh . . . Isn't "Hail Mary, full of grace" pretty much exactly how the Bible says the angel greeted her? Was Gabriel himself hailing Satan? Do angels do that kind of thing?
I haven't checked out your link but regarding the topic: I honour Mary as the mother of my Lord and recognize the grace God granted to her but I confess that I don't get the whole Marian devotion of the RCs and some Lutherans who I think secretly want to be RCs.
Often the RC devotion to Mary seems to border on adding her to the Trinity (making it a Quadrity?). I think the 'M' on Pope John Paul II's coffin was bigger than the cross, at least it seemed so to me in its conspicuousness (is that a word?).
I'm all for singing the Magnificat and for honouring Mary during Advent and Christmas and on her festival on August 15, but she's not going to become the centre of my prayer life the way she seems to be for a lot of RCs almost, perhaps actually, to the exclusion of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
I recognise that guy's awful, cluttered homepage from a web site devoted to very poor design. Form follows function, guys!
Okay, I read the page that you linked to. How the hell do you find stuff like that?
I think there is some kind of fundamentalist web design boot camp that all these people have to attend. (My eyes!!!)
I think I know a Methodist clergywoman who sports a tattoo with this message!
