Oh, for God’s sake. Ever since the early 1500’s Calvin has opposed the Catholic Church. But, he had no problem with a church being named after himself. Talk about inconsistencies.

Catholics don’t even pray straight to the Blessed Mother. They merely address a request to her to pray FOR them to God.

Oh, for God’s sake...

Next outburst of taking His Name in vain will be reported to the teacher.

Cut out the glibness with His Name on this forum...please.

Yeah, ah ha, right!!! Who do you really think you are kidding? Some of those prayers have been posted on these forums showing that statement to be fiction.

Asking catholcism's mary to pray for you is upsurping the position God gave Jesus as the ONLY mediator between God and man.

Furthermore....God clearly says In Jeremiah 10...

"The practices of the peoples are worthless;...they cut a tree out of the forest, and a craftsman shapes it with his chisel...... They adorn it with silver and gold;....they fasten it with hammer and nails so it will not totter. Like a scarecrow in a cucumber field, their idols cannot speak; they must be carried because they cannot walk....The images he makes are a fraud; they have no breath in them....They are worthless, the objects of mockery.

”It is impossible to save one’s soul without devotion to Mary and without her protection.” -Saint Anselm, Archbishop and Doctor of the Church, 1033-1109 AD

“The greatest saints, those richest in grace and virtue will be the most assiduous in praying to the most Blessed Virgin, looking up to her as the perfect model to imitate and as a powerful helper to assist them.” -Saint Louis Marie de Montfort, 1673-1716 AD

The Saints assert that anyone who prays to the Mother of God in time of temptation will be preserved from sin, and that whoever approaches her with perfect trust throughout his life will surely be saved.
-St. Maximilian Mary Kolbe

Your history proves different.
