"I am the Way, The Truth, the Life. No one comes to the Father but by me." -- compare and contrast this statement with the beliefs expressed here concerning Mary.
Reading the beginning of the article might actually clear up your confusion.
1 Tim 2:1-2 - because Jesus Christ is the one mediator between God and man (1 Tim. 2:5), many Protestants deny the Catholic belief that the saints on earth and in heaven can mediate on our behalf. But before Paul's teaching about Jesus as the "one mediator," Paul urges supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people. Paul is thus appealing for mediation from others besides Christ, the one mediator. Why?
1 Tim 2:3 - because this subordinate mediation is good and acceptable to God our Savior. Because God is our Father and we are His children, God invites us to participate in Christ's role as mediator.
1 Tim. 2:5 - therefore, although Jesus Christ is the sole mediator between God and man, there are many intercessors (subordinate mediators).
There is no contradiction. The Church is not saying that you have to go through Mary to get to the Father, but some people find it easier to do so. However they get there, let's celebrate their arrival!
Exactly! If they would just read the Bible with eyes to see and ears to hear instead of rings in their noses with which to be led.
I have a great deal of respect for Mary and who she is to all Christians, however, I will not pray to or through her because she is not G-d.
