Cabbage Boy, RSPA: From Vasectomies to Mary

re: post by KaleJ/Unmuted Mumblings re: vasectomies and prayer to the Virgin Mary here .

Rainbow Sparkle Pony Angel: I had a vasectomy and I’m fine … there’s a very slightly elevated risk of prostate cancer associated with them … probably less than that associated with extremely religious men who refuse to masturbate. The most interesting thing in Kale’s blog was his comment about praying to the “Blessed Mother” to convince his friend not to get the vasectomy. I’ve always found the Catholic deification of Mary to be one of the more troubling and pagan parts of their religion. Praying directly to her for divine intervention just smacks of forest dwelling druids and celts praying to Welsh witches or ancient Greeks sacrificing goats to Athena or whatever.

Cabbage Boy: Just a few words RSPA. To Jesus through Mary. She brought the Son of God to all people some 2000 years ago. And she continues to bring her children to Him even today. So, no. She isn’t a goddess we pray to. Just as you may as a pius friend to pray for you, we may as the Blessed Virgin to pray for us.
