“The Church’s deification of Mary is a mistake, she does not hear or answer prayers IMHO”.

More Christians hold the Catholic view of the Blessed Mother than do not.

I am also Catholic who always had a profound respect and reverence for Mary mother of Jesus Christ. Recently I saw a video on YouTube about a priest who had a near death experience.

He was condemned to hell by Christ for not being the Priest he should have been when he said he heard a women's asking Jesus to give the priest a second chance. Jesus said "Mother he didn't live his life for Me but for himself". Mary then says "Give him special Graces to help do what he needs to do and if he (priest) fails again Your "Will" will be done (damnation)."

Watching this had a Profound effect on me! Every time I pray the Hail Mary or a Rosary it has ALOT more meaning for me.
