“....the Scriptures say in James 5:16 “For the continual prayer of a just man availeth much.” I don’t think anyone would doubt that the Blessed Virgin Mary was just.”
James is advising Christians to pray to God here for other Christians, nothing about Mary praying or being prayed to.
“Whatsoever he shall say to you, do ye.” From this verse we Catholics get our confidence in her intercession.”
At John 14:6 Jesus said no one came to the Father except through him, and in vs. 13 that whatever we request in his name he will do it. No Mary involved. So it is Jesus that makes intercession not Mary.
“filled with the Holy Ghost” and “And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?”
Luke 1:67 says Zechariah was “filled with the Holy Ghost” also. “Mother of my Lord” is not “Mother of God” even as the term “Lord” is applied to both God and Jesus. And many others.
“First, as regards Mary being “worshiped” I will repeat what I said on post #9: If any Catholics are worshiping the Virgin Mary, they’ve got a problem. We do highly honor her though.”
When does “highly honor” become “worship”? Mary is described by Catholics as being in “heaven where she is queen, reigning over heaven and earth.”
Refering to Gen. 3, “There mention is made of the “Second Eve”, through whom will be effected the redeemed restoration of all mankind”
“ toward the close of the Marian Year (1954), on Dec. 8, the pope declared the doctrine of the Universal Queenship of Mary....”. and “..she is Co-Redemptrix....”
(from The Catholic Encyclopedia 1987 ed. Robert C. Broderick, Editor)
Matt. 20:28 says that Jesus gave his soul as a ransom or redemption for many, Mary not involved as “Co-Redemptrix”.
But the Bible does mention “the queen of heaven” in Jeremiah 7:18 as a false goddess the apostate Israeltes were sacrificing to and worshipping.
Your ignorance spans many languages. Co-Redemptrix is Latin and when translated means the woman with the Redeemer, nothing more.
