  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

The whole is made of individuals.

Individuals speaking as one, not separately

The question of the OP appears to ask about individuals, not the church, though ("Why do Catholics and Anglicans pray to Mary?").

Anyway, it's ridiculous to say "individuals speaking as one" in this case, when we all know that Anglicans do not speak as one but instead come in many varieties and that the nature of Anglicanism is to tolerate a range of beliefs and practices.

The evidence provided defeats your premise.

The diversity isn't as great as people think, or at least not the type.

I don't have a "premise" PV. ^_^ I was merely reminding us that the question did not ask about any church but rather about Catholics and Anglicans.

All right then. Let's go with that and answer that Catholics generally do pray to Mary and Anglicans generally do not.

Your point does not necessarily fit the words, and given the original post, your interpretation makes no sense.

Except that's not a true statement, especially given how the OP wrongly used the term.

Makes no sense...to you, you mean.

Well, that happen at times on discussion boards, doesn't it? :D
