OKay so if the Catholics gave us the Bible, as you say, and Mary is so important to our salvation, as you guys proclaim, then why in the world doesn’t the Bible tell us this??? Jesus Christ Himself, the Son of GOD, calls his mother “woman” and tells his disciples that THEY are His mother and brothers just as much as his physical family is correct? WHen Jesus recites the Lord’s prayer why doesn’t he include Mary, and when says there is but ONE mediator between God and man and that is Jesus, why no mention of Mary? And where in the Bible does it speak of Hail Mary’s and rosaries? Actually is tells us not to chant.

Jesus is Lord.

Nobody else who walked on 2 legs is a deity

I believe the Roman Catholics view it as like moving from a car with manual steering to a car with power steering.

That said, I’d be concerned about the credit given the Lord in the process, apparently little (hail Mary full of grace, please pray ..., not even hail Mary full of God’s grace). Worship of God isn’t supposed to enable you to forget about God; it’s supposed to enable you to more nearly and dearly embrace God. There aren’t any “magic wands” in Christianity for excellent reason.
