Is that Catholic doctrine!?
"Mary has NO power herself"
Isn't that a contradiction with the above?
(And please calm down, we're on the same side.)
As a protestant I always believed, and was taught, that the Saints will reign in heaven. However, I NEVER really thought of Mary as a Saint. Turns out that by my own protestant theology she does indeed reign. It’s also not really a contradiction (I had thought the same.) because the Greeks thought Paul had some power of his own, but he corrected them. It was Christ working through him as he does his mother. Truly he fulfilled ALL the law in honoring her.
