Ignore His Word at your peril. Catholocism condemns all who do not believe that there is a co-mediatrix (Mary) despite clear text telling us this is not so? Do you say you know better than God? Or perhaps the 2XX + popes, many of whom have disagreed on many things, have a better handle on it. But hey, I'm just going by God's inspired word. Do you presume to say you know better than God?
What then is the truth of Christ? His Word or a tradition of the RCC? We all must decide this for ourselves I suppose.
I do no such thing. He entrusted His Word to the Catholic Church through Peter.

It is not so. No Catholic is dogmatically bound to believe Mary is Co-Mediatrix.

Nope. But they were given the authority to act as Vicar of Christ on earth by Christ Himself via Apostolic Succession.

No, you're going by your personal interpretation of the Scriptures without the teaching authority of the Church. Not a very good idea if you truly want a clear picture of what His Word says. And I presume nothing. I follow Christ's promise to Peter, that the gates of Hell will not prevail against Holy Mother Church. They cannot prevail, the Holy Spirit protects the Church.

Try the entire deposit of the Faith as found in Catholicism (Roman AND Eastern Rites) housed and protected by the Holy Spirit of God.

The most common, and dare I say arrogant, error of Protestantism.
