If I was going to fast for the mental reaction (I am not suggesting you do) I would aim for a minimum of 3 days hopping for 4-7 days I used to fast every now and then just to test my will power I think I made it to 2 weeks once after the third day most of the hunger go away (this is the point where the body is seriously feeding off it’s self) when I say fast it was water only or coffee black with no sugar or sweetener

Aries01: ROMAN CATHOLICISM TEACHES
Omnipotence of Mary:
"I come to thee in my distress, O Blessed Mother, for thou art all powerful in heaven and on earth..." Our Lady's Book, Rev. Jas. J. Cashman, CM, ed., (Vincentian Foreign Mission Soc., St. Louis, 1942), p. 31 Imprimi Potest, Marshall F. Winne, CM; Nihil Obstat, Wm. M. Drumm; Imprimatur, Jas. P. Murray, May 20, 1949
"...thou, O Mary, art all-powerful..." Ibid, p. 14
"We need never fear to cast our cares upon Mary, all powerful Mother of God." Ibid, p. 7
"... by the ordinance of God, her power is without limit. All that He could give to Mary, He has given..."

Dempsey, S.T.D., Imprimi Potest: Joannes Carolus, Archbishop of Dublin, March 25, 1953 [Note: A letter, posted in the foreword, from Pius XI to the Legion of Mary 16th Sept., 1933, states his approval thus: "We give a very special blessing to this beautiful and holy work...."]

You are well read, Aries, I'm impressed.
Which leaves just one other question - why does this subject bother you so much ?. I mean, fervent evangelical catholics are few on the ground these days in Ireland anyway - and those pushing a Holy Mary Mother of God agenda are even fewer.

I just don't like that people are being lied to, to their spiritual detriment.. what can I say I am passionate about the truth... now while I know that most people don't care that much anyway.. I figure at least if they have a clean slate that has its basis in truth, they are at a good place, whether they chose to seek it out further or not... guess I have always been like that.. why I became a lawyer etc.... even when I was younger and found out that there was no Santa.. I felt a big compulsion to tell all the kids the truth..
... that got me into trouble I can tell you.. and mortified my mother.. ..Anyway, clearly I have touched a nerve.. so for that I apologise..

Aries01: Did you know that pre-Calvinist Protestantism, the Catholic Church had 'passports to heaven' that you could BUY... for a price... .. you couldn't make this stuff up.. that is why Calvin had to exile to Switzerland, as it was a safe haven politically for persons who were excommunicated from the Church.. his crime.. thinking the passport to heaven and the lack of spirituality in the Church was wrong..
Yeah that also one of the reasons why Martin Luther got pissed of with the church.
Also I do agree that the Church has been corrupt in the past and it may still be. Pope John Paul knew about this and was murdered for trying to clean up the church. Also the Roberto Calvi Murder was also part of this.

Anyway.. Mark 10 'from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female, for this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh, so that they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together let not man seperate'... plus most of the early apostles were married... marriage is one of the most important and sacred unions in the Bible because it is so important to the family, which in turn is so important to society as a whole... some chose celibacy... but it was certainly not a requirement..
Calvin got kicked out of Geneva too,for a good while,and preached in Strasbourg.Anyway.. Mark 10 'from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female, for this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh, so that they are no longer two but one flesh.

Calvinism is NOT a form of Protestantism you'll want to practice,if you WANT to practice a Religion.
He was an Absolute Enemy of Reason,frightened of it most likely!

The statues in church are symbols only honoring who they represent. Don't you have pictures on your walls of YOUR loved ones in your home? Mary is the Mother of God. Period. The Catholic Church is the only church founded by Jesus Christ himself. The King James bible is flawed and leaves out important verses when he revised it. Don't hypothisize and deduce too much in your analysis of what you read in the bible. Remember that there are mysteries that we will never understand. Don't get lost or stray away because of your lack of faith because faith is the most important component in all of this. By the statement you make about Mary being worshiped as a god is so way off and wrong, it indicates to me that you have been misguided in your education of the Catholic Church. But do not despair. I think you will be alright because eventually you will come around to the correct understanding that Mary was predestined and immune from all the stains of original sin in order to be the Mother of God. We pray to Mary so she will pray for us to her Son. Don't forget that their are angels too. Questions you have will not always be answered, but in the fact that they cannot be answered should strengthen your faith that heaven awaits you when God calls you home.
