As to who would perpetuate (did you mean, "perpetrate"?) such a lie ... Catholics who are careless about how they phrase theological propositions.

Nope...Meant perpetuate...This is hardly the first instance where it has been printed that Mary is the mediator between God and man...

You blame it on carelessness...So what was the careless part??? Is it that you guys sometimes forget that the real mediator is Jesus??? Seems to me it wouldn't have been printed if the thought wasn't in the person's mind...Perhaps the carlessness is saying what you guys believe in private to a public audience...

Maybe you don't believe Mary is the one mediator between God and man...But I'd say it's pretty clear that many in your religion believe just that...

I don't really have much of a brief for what "some" or "many" Catholics believe.

I care about what the Church teaches. She's quite clear that Mary mediates with and through her Son, not instead of him or apart from him.

I think the authors of this piece understand that, but are doing a poor job of expressing what they believe.

Can we get the rules straight? Here you are accusing us of dissembling. So is it okay to call each other liars or not?

Really, it's fine if that's what you want to do. But I just want to be clear.
