"She called Jesus her savior. If she were without sin, then she would be without a need for a savior."

The reason Mary is without sin is because of Christ. She did not make herself sinless. You know that. Catholics know that. When you do not sin (or any other human for that matter), is it you who causes that purity? Mary was and is without sin because God graced her with that condition and reality. God is her savior. Christ is God. Mary did not save herself or remain sinless by her own power.

Had Mary accomplished even half the things you falsely assume Catholic's believe and teach, we would have to worship Mary. We don't. But I do see clearly that you were taught that we worship Mary. And by your words I see clearly that you believe we worship Mary, even when we tell you we don't. Thank God our faith is not based on what you believe about us. If that were the case, we'd be lost.

And at this point I have come to understand that you need to find and attack untrue Catholic "windmills" that do not exist. I respect your right to do so, as I respect my son's right to play PlayStation games.

Believe me, it's enough of a blasphemy to say "Mary was sinless."

As Rome wants to be understood by Protestants, so, too, do Protestants want Rome to realize just how far we believe Marionology traipses into heresy.

One mediator; one savior; one sinless human being; one to hear our prayers; one to save our souls; one to take our sins and carry them forever; one Lamb slain before the world began for your acquittal and mine -- Jesus Christ.
