MAMA MARY. A member of Catholic Women’s Charismatic Community says she’s “hurt to the bones” everytime someone refers to her as Catholic and not Christian. But she adds that she is more hurt whenever the “non-Catholic Christians” ignore Mama Mary in their prayer meetings.
WHY, OH, WHY? The same Catholic Women’s Charismatic member says: “I observe that all religious groups calling themselves Christian dislike Mama Mary.” She says there is even a big group of Catholic-based believers who don’t display the image of the Blessed Virgin on their altar. She declined to identify the group.
