Well Fossil,  most christians think of Mary as very special.  She was a young faithful girl who gave birth to THE SON OF GOD...wow....so we think of her pretty highly.  NO,   I wouldn't pray to her, or matthew or christopher for that matter... I am  not catholic...     Mary also didn't remain a virgin, she had other children, and  sexual relationship with her husband Joseph, it is only JESUS that was born while she was a virgin..

I love Mary, but she had to accept the Messiah (not obama) the same as all of us should.. :)

I do call my Dad, father, he gave me life through his seed, Mother was his garden. fathers that have children with a woman are intitled to be called father cause they give life. 

You do not have the facts about the Catholic Faith. The Catholic Faith is much more than  what you perceive. It is ALL based on the word of God. Where do you get the idea that the Catholic Faith is not based on God's word? Perhaps you should do your research. We go to Mass to hear the word of God and to recieve Jesus Christ in the Eucharist. Christ, who is the source and summit of our Faith.  Christ who is our life, our salvation. I do not know why a priest is called Father, but I will certainly find out why. Why do we call our Dad's Father? If the bible says call no man father?  Sure prairie can say whatever she/he wants to, but it doesn't mean I have to accept it.. Most of it is sheer stupidity anyway.

Sally, in your reply was 'get thee behind me satan'

were you thinking of a Scripture at?

Matthew 16;23 Jesus says "Get behind me Satan. You are a stumbling block to me, because, you think, not GOD's thoughts, but those of men.

Sally, yes we all can worship anyway we want. 

Many despise the Catholic Church, they push their beliefs more than any other religion. go to a mass, none of what is talked about is about Scripture Bible Verses, I had never ever heard a priest Say "use your Bible follow with me please ? to get across to the people how God thinks about issues of our system of things."

Where in the Bible does the priests get the right to be called "father"??

The Bible SAYS at

Matthew 23;9 Moreover, do not call anyone your father on earth,for one is your Father, the heavenly One.

please continue to read to the end of the chapter." Woe to the scribes and pharisees." That is what the bishops and priests remind me of scribes and pharisees.

Sally, did you know that at one time, whom ever was Catholic, if they had a Bible, they were put to death?

The Priests teach, God is a mystery? Read the Bible and you will learn that God is LOVE what God wants is only good for all humans on the earth. The Bible is open and very frank about every isssue that goes on with US humans.

Again I meant NO Slander to anyone I asked a questions.

Prairie Fire can talk about any issue she wants concerning her beliefs. I will agree with her THE BLACK Robes did mess up many a mind on reservations. 

The black robes showed up on our native lands with the Armys, the catholic church has and is behind every war there is. REMEMBER they were brought here to tame the "SAVAGES" and lie to the people so the whites could win and take the lands.

Sally, do reserach, as I said show me scriptures to back what to believe??

Where in the Bible? Any Scripture in the Bible? to back that one should PRAY to Mary??

Luke; 1 to 80, gives us information about Marys postion as Jesus's earthy Mother. No where does the Bible mention that we should pray to her.

Yes i do change the tuner or station and yes I know of the Bottneau station also.

In fact i listen to many stations.  Seems the Catholic Church of this reservation, owns the reservation?

2 Timothy; 3:16 All Scripture is inspried of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving for setting things straight for disciplining in righteousness.

2 Cortnthians 4; the god of this system of things has blinded the minds of the unblievers that the illumination of the glorious good news about the Christ who is the image of God might not shine through.

I meant no slander, was asking a question about keya Radio station.

'Get thee behind me Satan'.

If you don't like KEYA radio, change the channel. Just a turn of the dial.The Turtle Mt Indian Reservation and surrounding area are predominantly Catholic. If you have other religious preferences, call KEYA and request. something of your liking, perhaps they will accommodate you. Speak with the radio station program manager.  In any case, can't you find something else to complain about other than prayer on the radio?  Oh, by the way, KBTO in Bottineau airs Lutheran services....109.9 on the FM dial.

'Pray for us O Holy Mother of God. So that we may be worthy of the promises of Christ'
