attributing miracles to Mary instead of to God is part of the problem
Like some apostate Catholics, Lucifer also hates the Blessed Mother. Even the muslims and Jews don't appear to hate Mary as much as Catholic apostates.
What “Easter detente”?
At whose intercession did Jesus turn water into wine at Cana?
The Church is where they come to worship God! Is that so difficult to understand?
Let's look again at the exact quote the "spirit" said:
I greatly desire that a church be built in my honor, in which I will show my love, compassion, and protection. I am your Mother full of mercy and love for you and all those who love Me, trust in Me, and have recourse to Me. I will hear their complaints and I will comfort their affliction and their sufferings. So that I might show all My love, go now to the bishop in Mexico City and tell him that I am sending you to make known to him the great desire I have to see a church dedicated to me built here."

Sure doesn't sound like that church is used for what you claim the "spirit" said it was used for.
One would think that if this were Mary, she would say the church was for her Son.
But consider.....
In reading the whole account on EWTN there is not one mention of a certain name....ummmmm....wonder whose it is and why it's not mentioned????
Here's a hint....it's the Name that is above all other Names.
Jesus said, "I am the Way, the Truth and the life....no one comes to the Father but through Me."
John 14:6 (NASB)
Muslims are followers of Satan renamed Allah.
And you’d appeal to them to support Catholic teaching about Mary?
But then again, considering the pope kissing the Koran and what the CCC says about muslims and Catholics serving the same God.......
You think Jesus could not do it without someone “interceding” why? Why, is your Jesus so useless and lazy?
A request to turn water into wine has allowed catholics to claim Mary now tells Jesus what to do and He does it....in all matters.
Wow.
Mary had Jesus on a leash?
Well, the catechism does say.....well, you know.
Poor Jesus.
He doesn’t get any time.
Even His mother was retitled as *Mother of GOD*.
Jesus who?
He’s been relegated more and more to a position of just being an afterthought to Catholics.

Yes, we know.
They apparently don’t.
I don’t know how many matters, do you?
I do see that you guys like to pick and choose your scripture. Just like Luther.
Sounds like “she” wanted a throne just a little bit higher...
Either you reject that Mary was the Mother of Jesus or that Jesus is God; you are rejecting your sola scriptura.
As a Protestant, especially a Pentecostal, miracles weren’t something wholly unfamiliar to my faith life or to my understanding of Christianity. Far from it. In the middle years of my University life I attended a charismatic Pentecostal church in town where faith healings, speaking in tongues, and being slain in the Spirit were par for the course in a Sunday evening meeting. I’ve witnesses miracles, to be sure.
The two (Pentecostalist and RC) are not so far apart as they might think, as was pointed out long ago.
(An easier text to deal with, here.)
CC a few of the saints.
Not true. She always deferred things to her son, Jesus — then as well as now.
Hey if that helps you get through the dark scary night so be it. I will continue to pray that God opens your mind and soften your heart. I hope you had a blessed Easter.
