Thanks.

I never looked to Mary for my salvation (or the Saints). No Catholic I ever knew did.

However, although I do honestly feel that there is an almost delibertae misunderstanding on this point by some Protestants, I must admit I have some newfound questions about Mary that I never had before.

None of them, though, deal in what I see as the "Myth" of Virgin worship.

Read the Bible.

KJV
NIV
NASB
NKJV
DRV (Douay-Rheims. I got saved reading the DRV.)
All good translations.


Do avoid the TNIV,
The Message
The Living Bible
These 3 are NOT translations, they are publications loosely based on the Bible.

Let's see -- to a Catholic, JESUS is his/her personal Savior, not Mary or any saint -- they're intercessors/role models/heroes of the faith, not more
Read the Bible - the KJV does have it's own little edits more than a millenia after the Vulgate, so I'd prefer the Catholic Bible with the Apocrypha to give me a complete view.

A Bible-based church -- that's the Church, or as you call it, the Catholic church.

Unless a TV 'evangelist' organisation, the Church is NOT personality based, it is based on Christ.

Obviously you have never been to a Mass... We do accept Jesus as our savior and we honor and love the mother of God.
