The atoning work that the sacrifices at the Ark were not perfect, but merely foreshadowed by Christ, Who’s sacrifice is perfect and needs never to happen again. And again. And if you miss Mass, it is a mortal sin!

Ah, thats right, it is Mary in wooden form. So, yeah, its worship leads to damnation, and all the Catholics say “Amen!”?

What is the upper limit to the prayers to Mary before they reach status of idolatry? Can there be an upper limit? Do you know, right now, that Mary is the co-redemptrix? Or is it still not required belief?

If the Pope declares it a de fide doctrine, are you just going to say that the unchanging Church always believed this (for 2000 years), and it was taught by the apostles?
