That article is yet another horrific example of how they try to link the power of Christ to Mary as though the work of Christ as insufficient.

This is the kernel of your error.

CHRIST linked the power of CHRIST to Mary, when he became incarnate through her, and chose, in obedience to the Father, to redeem us through his Incarnation.

That's really right at the heart of the Gospel. In fact, St. John calls those who deny Christ come in the flesh -- and Christ came in the flesh through Mary, remember -- he calls them antiChrist.

That doesn't "make the work of Christ insufficient". That IS the work of Christ.

Before you call something "demonic", stop to remember that "demonic" is exactly what the Pharisees called Jesus.

CHRIST linked the power of CHRIST to Mary,

What does "linked" mean in this statement?

NO; Christ came in the flesh through the power of the Holy Spirit. It just happened to be through Mary. Certainly, Honor Mary, but no more nor less than Peter. Peter who never once mentions her. Paul, who never prayed to any other than God. Moses. Non of these should be elevated above any other.

Except the pope of course, who speaks with out error.
