The Exploitation of Scapulars in the Roman Catholic Church

Many non-RC's imagine that relics are used in Roman Catholicism merely as symbols of faith and devotion. But nothing could be farther from the truth. The Roman Catholic Church, still operates a full-blown system of fetishism and sorcery in which physical objects are supposed to accomplish physical miracles. Sometimes it is claimed that these physical objects also accomplish spiritual miracles and change the physical or spiritual destiny of any fortunate Roman Catholic who relies on them.
I've got a circular called The Scapular Militia issued by the Carmelite National Shrine of Our Lady of the Scapular, in New York. It bears the official Imprimatur. The slogan emblazoned on its cover is "A Scapular for Every Catholic Service Man," and it carries, underneath a picture of Mary, Joseph and Roman Catholic St. Simon Stock. The specific guarantee in heavy capital letters states:
WHOSOEVER DIES CLOTHED IN THIS SCAPUALR SHALL NOT SUFFER ETERNAL FIRE.

Originally the circular contained, in a pocket on the back page, a small cloth scapular to be tied about the neck. The circular not only makes the flat promise, quoted from the Virgin Mary, that the wearer cannot go to hell, but it cites the miraculous effects of the charm in protecting soldiers from death in a war.

You didn't read the circular, did you?

What all of this mumbo jumbo tells me is that the rcc offers no hope to its adherents, and as a result, they go to whatever source that they can find to obtain that hope. It is pitifully sad that they do not understand that there is only one place to obtain it.
 
Then how can you be telling us what is in the circular if you don't know?
I never made that claim. Youre the one that said;

"Don't certain conditions have to be met?" Post 4

Seems like you've seen this. Tell us what conditions have to be met so someone wearing a piece of cloth will never 'suffer eternal fire.'

Other than cheapening the gospel of grace and the suffering of our savior on the cross, this whole thing sounds little more than a carnival barker at a county fair. Anyone that believes this nonsense needs to repent and turn to Jesus.

Amen!

Here. From the website, and a lot of other absolutely ridiculous content from the same site


It is a sign of our contract, of our covenant with Mary. She promised: "Whosoever dies clothed in this Scapular shall not suffer eternal fire." The condition for obtaining this promise is to wear the Scapular imposed by the priest devoutly and at all times.

The conditions for obtaining this promise are:
• to wear the Scapular imposed by the priest devoutly and at all times;
• to strive particularly for the virtue of chastity by observing ardently the 6th and the 9th commandments;
• to choose amongst the following prayers:
— either to pray the Little Office of Our Lady every day (original condition);
— or for one week to fast on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday (original condition);
— or to pray the rosary (privilege granted by Pope Pius XII);
— or to say the prayer imposed by the investing priest (generally one decade of the Rosary)

The Scapular Represents three things
It is a sign of our Catholic Faith, by which we become sons and servants of Mary.
• It is a sign of our love for the Mother of Christ, who is also our own spiritual Mother.
• It is a sign of Our Lady’s protection for she watches over her sons & servants.

Your Scapular...
...is a rich present brought down from Heaven by Our Lady herself. "Wear it devoutly and perseveringly", she says to each soul, "It is my garment. To be clothed in it means you secure eternal life."

"Scapular, Rosary and Miraculous Medal
here are three things that the Immaculata herself has deigned to offer for the salvation of mankind."

St. Alphonsus says: "Just as men take pride in having others wear their livery, so the Most Holy Mary is pleased when her servants wear her Scapular as a mark that they have dedicated themselves to her service, and are members of the Family of the Mother of God."

So much heresy and outright blasphemy. I thought Ligouri was the king of blasphemy. This comes close.

Maybe Pilgrim or another catholic can show us any of this rank heresy from Gods Holy word?

Not a word about Jesus, His sacrifce, His suffering, Him being THE ONLY SAVIOR; Acts 4:12

How low can catholics go?
