As idiotic and stupid – and erroneous your post was – why did you NOT take me up on my challenge?? Instead of PROVING your claim that I “misrepresented” or “denied” Catholic teaching – you simply regurgitated the usual anti-Catholic manure that you ALWAYS do.Papist Dead Bread, why attempt to hide what catholicism claims as the "special" intercession of Mary? The intercession of "Mary" (Satan incognito) is far more significant to catholics than that of the ordinary "saints" (which Biblically refers to ALL who've given their heart to God). The "saints" offer merit to reduce time in "Purgatory" (where Christians must pay the consequences for their sin because Jesus didn't), assistance with finances, finding car keys, etc.
But the role of "Mary" is so much more.
She has been elevated to the level of "Mediator", "Advocate", and "Co-Redeemer" by virtue of the ludicrous, ridiculous "ex-cathedra" claim of pope Pius IX in the 19th century declaring Mary "Immaculate", so that we no longer have the Three Persons of the Godhead, but a "Holy Quartet".
"Prophetess Of These Last Times, The Immaculate Conception, Mother Of The Church, Mary As The New Eve, Queen Of Heaven and Earth/Queen of Peace, The Assumption, Queen of the Holy Rosary, Queen and Mother of Families, Mary as Co-Redemptrix, Mediatrix, Advocate, Our Lady of all Nations, Ark of the New Covenant, Mother of the Second Advent." -- Flynn, Thunder of Justice: The Warning, the Miracle, the Chastisement, the Era of Peace (MaxKol Communications, 1992).
“The Church’s devotion to the Blessed Virgin is intrinsic to Christian worship.” The Church rightly honors “the Blessed Virgin with special devotion. From the most ancient times the Blessed Virgin has been honored with the title of ‘Mother of God,’ to whose protection the faithful fly in all their dangers and needs.” -- "Devotion to the Blessed Virgin,” Catechism of the Catholic Church (Vatican City: Liguori Publications, 1994): 253.
"But while in the most Blessed Virgin the Church has already reached that perfection whereby she exists without spot or wrinkle, the faithful still strive to conquer sin and increase in holiness. And so they turn their eyes to Mary: in her, the Church is already the “all-holy. -- “The Church is Holy,” Catechism of the Catholic Church (Vatican City: Liguori Publications, 1994): 220.
"As they listen to the word proclaimed in the Sunday assembly, the faithful look to the Virgin Mary...From Sunday to Sunday, the pilgrim people follow in the footsteps of Mary, and her maternal intercession gives special power and fervour to the prayer which rises from the Church to the Most Holy Trinity." -- John Paul II, Dies Domini (July 5, 1998).
Perhaps the most disgusting representation of "Mary" is found here:
Paganism's "savior" is known as the "wrath subdoer", which is exactly the attribute given to Mary - another testimony to the true roots of catholicism. Here, we see a vile image of a supposed child Jesus with a grown man's face sucking Mary's breast."The sinner that ventures directly to Christ may come with dread and apprehension of his wrath; but let him only employ the mediation of the Virgin with her Son and she has only to show that Son the breasts that gave Him suck and His wrath will immediately be appeased." -- Catholic Layman, July 1856
Before Playboy, Penthouse, and Hustler magazine, there was this:
More evidence that the roots of catholicism are not traced to 1st century Palestine, but to the ancient pagan, sexually lascivious, sex cult religions of the Sun god.
You had a PERFECT chance to have me leave this form – and you didn’t take it. You know WHY?? Because you realized that you stuck your foot in your mouth.
Now, I’m never gonna leave you alone. Every time you say something stupid – and that happens SEVERAL times a day – I’ll be there to expose you, as usual.
