Thye Blessed are in heaven with Christ and form part of His Mystical Body. The intercession of saints is in Christ and not apart from him. The saints are not separate gods. Jesus is the one divine mediator, being both God and man, and the saints are but ways to Him. Also, you should be ashamed of your calumny against Our Lady, who was born and preserved from taint of original sin in anticipation by the merits of Christ's passion. I understand herr Luther had a strong devotion to Our Lady, but that seems to have disappeared somewhere along the way among you die hard Protestants.
Who said I was Protestant?
There’s no mystery to salvation. The Catholic church mystifies it to ensure the church’s power. A Catholic must rely on the church for salvation.
Mary was nothing more than a flesh and blood woman born into sin and who died a non-virgin. She doesn’t have anymore power than the keyboard I used to type this reply. The saints have even less power, like my USB flashdrive.
