On 02/28/2020 I posted (in Spanish) about the
scapular. To expand on this topic, look at what was posted on Answering CatholicClaims on 02/22/20.
From Answering Catholic Claim’s post:
Who does the scapular glorify the most? The
whole emphasis of this teaching of the brown scapular seems to be that
Catholics must entrust themselves to Mary. It is
(supposedly) Mary that introduced it, and it is Mary who “sustains”
it. It is about her, not about Jesus. Mary is
the star in this story, but let us learn a critical lesson from John the
baptist, who said, “He [Jesus] must increase, but I [John] must decrease” (John
3:30). It appears here (as it often does in the Catholic
Church) that, in the teaching of the brown scapular, Jesus has taken a back
seat to Mary.
And the peace of God, which surpasses
all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (Philippians
4:7)
