This is the kind of pure stupidity from Protestants who believe in anything and everything from anybody and everybody who gets to crack open a BIble and provide his or her “authentic” interpretation.

As requested before and never provided....please provide the official Roman Catholic interpretation of the New Testament...verse by verse.

Hey, we'll make it easy...just give us one book where Rome has made an official proclamation of the meaning of the text.

Rather than this semi-literate hit, go ask the hundreds of leading Protestant theologians, teachers and scholars who converted to Catholics. Catholics venerate, not worship, the Mother of God.

Ah yes...the appeal to others who've fallen into the false teachings of Rome...which fails everytime.

I provide examples of Roman Catholic writings regarding how they worship Mary...again.

49. 4. We must perform all our actions for Mary, which means that as slaves of this noble Queen we will work only for her, promoting her interests and her high renown, and making this the first aim in all our acts, while the glory of God will always be our final end. In everything we must renounce self- love because more often than not, without our being aware of it, selfishness sets itself up as the end of all we work for. We should often repeat from the depths of our heart: "Dear Mother, it is to please you that I go here or there, that I do this or that, that I suffer this pain or this injury."

I ask again...will any Roman Catholic disavow this teaching by Montfort? Contrast with what is revealed in Scripture.

7But whatever things were gain to me, those things I have counted as loss for the sake of Christ. 8More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish so that I may gain Christ, 9and may be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own derived from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith, 10that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death; 11in order that I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.

And before any Catholic attempts to dismiss Montfort...here is a brief bio of the man.

Saint Louis-Marie Grignion de Montfort (31 January 1673 – 28 April 1716) was a French Roman Catholic priest and Confessor. He was known in his time as a preacher and was made a missionary apostolic by Pope Clement XI.

In the 19th century, Pope Pius IX considered it the best and most acceptable form of Marian devotion, while Pope Leo XIII granted indulgences for practicing Montfort's method of Marian consecration. Leo beatified Montfort in 1888, selecting for Montfort's beatification the day of his own Golden Jubilee as a priest.

In the 20th century Pope Saint Pius X acknowledged the influence of Montfort's writings in the composition of his encyclical Ad diem illum.[15]

Pope Pius XI stated that he had practiced Montfort's devotional methods since his early youth. Pope Pius XII declared Montfort a saint and stated that Montfort is the guide "who leads you to Mary and from Mary to Jesus."

Pope Saint John Paul II once recalled how as a young seminarian he "read and reread many times and with great spiritual profit" a work of de Montfort and that: "Then I understood that I could not exclude the Lord's Mother from my life without neglecting the will of God-Trinity."[16] According to his Apostolic Letter Rosarium Virginis Mariae, the pontiff's personal motto was "Totus Tuus." The thoughts, writings, and example of St. Louis de Montfort were also singled out by Pope John Paul II's encyclical Redemptoris Mater as a distinctive witness of Marian spirituality in the Roman Catholic tradition.[17]
