We Catholics don’t like Mary worshippers either.

Nonsense.

Though one could wish.

#### . . . ibid . . . John Ferraro's . . . TEN SERIES OF MEDITATIONS ON THE MYSTERIES OF THE ROSARY . . . ####

p 83
"6 - . . . Mary was elevated to a certain equality with the Heavenly Father."

p 82
"3- No one will be saved nor obtain mercy except through you, O heavenly Lady."

p 32
"6 - She became Ruler of hell, that trembles at her slightest gaze and is defeated by her power."

p. 101
"1 = "To Mary we owe the cult of hyperdulia, that is, a very exceptional veneration."

[What a quaint way to white wash idolatrous worship!]

p101
"2- HOw can we fail to honor exceedingly her from whom all graces come to us."

p101
"5 - 'Therefore, let us venerate Mary with all the ardor of our heart . . . '"

p103
"4 - All graces pass from God to Jesus, from Jesus to Mary, and from Mary to us!"

That's just a fraction of the horrific stuff up through SERIES FOUR.

That's HILARIOUS! Do you really believe that John Ferraro's book is the equivalent of the Catechism?

Hilarious!

What a quaint way to white wash idolatrous worship!

Yep. The Catholic doesn't get to decide what is in his heart, YOU do. Right?

Thanks for the excerpts, dear brother in Christ!

[John Leland 1789]

You see how it is done:

I posted:

“Yes, God regarded her humility, not her deification. And calling someone blessed is not akin to veneration or worship. Many in the Scriptures are called blessed-—including every forgiven sinner (Rom. 4).”

Notice, “Catholic Church” is not anywhere in the three sentences.

but, a Catholic replies:

“Congratulations, you agree with the Catholic Church!”

When I hadn’t said anything about the Catholic Church yet.

So, I respond,

“Twist,twist.
“God regarded her humility.
“The CC regards her as deified.

And the same Catholic then replies:

“Perhaps the CC does.
“The Catholic Church does not regard Mary as deified. [LOL!]
“And, no, you don’t get to change that.”

I will add here that the Catholic Church is first and foremost its priests, and the priests who make the statements as in Post #503 don’t get rebuked or corrected for it. Since these are public record, it is fair to assume that the Vatican is very aware of the long-running deification of Mary, and it is also fair to take their statements as reflecting the attitude and position of the church.

Nobody needs to change anything.

Staggering!

She became Ruler of hell,

Good grief, poor Mary
