Just out of curiosity, which carries the greater judgement:

Being deceived by a fallen angel, as you claim is the case with those who believe that Fatima is genuine?

Or, getting something like Fatima wrong and calling what turns out to be a true divine intervention an act of Satan on a public forum, while warning people away from it and its intended meaning?

I'm not arguing about whether or not Fatima is real, but using it as an example while wondering what sort of hypothetical penalty you think would result for each of those two possibilities.

Which brings me to another rhetorical question in the same vein:
What happens if to you personally, Elsie, considering all you've posted about it, if you have gotten Mary's status wrong and she truly is the Queen of Heaven and is working now to prepare us all for her Son's return?

Nothing.

The ROMISH woman has NOTHING to do with the woman who bore Jesus in the flesh.

Absolutely nothing. Scripture does not record one word of what you are speculating.

Besides, Jesus is the one who redeemed us. He is the one who died for us.

He is the One we answer to at the Judgment Seat of Christ for what we did on this earth.

And if Catholics want to use the criteria of Jesus teachings as the basis for that evaluation, He never mentioned one word about anyone relating to Mary, so there's no reason to think that it would even come up.

Additionally, it's the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives that produces the fruit of righteousness. Mary cannot do the work of preparing us for her Son. She is not God and only HE can work in our hearts. She does not have that ability.
