Au contrare to the max.
1. There’s NOTHING SIMPLE about the
HUGE INDUSTRY
built up around
the farcical, UNBIBLICAL, caricatured personage hideously put forward as the authentic Mary.
There is NOTHING SIMPLE about the mental, theological, historical, irrationial gymnastics necessary to foist on the world all the horrific nonsense, lies, deceptions, concocted dogma, doctrines of men and doctrines of demons that construct the HUGE INDUSTRY of CARICATURED MARY INC.
The layers of blasphemy and idolatry are almost too thick, complex and varied to keep track of.
Prottys are happy to bless the authentic Mary for her finished role in Jesus earthly life.
We utterly reject the hideous UNBIBLICAL idolatries and blasphemies in Mary’s name and call on all thinking, Biblically interested folks to do the same.
It is your opinion that what the Church believes and teaches about Mary is unBiblical. There is ample exegesis and theology that says otherwise, that is acceptable to Catholics. This very thread seeks to do just that.
No one who rejects the authority of the Church, in fact declares that there is no such authority sanctioned by God, does not then get to claim that authority for themselves.
The Church does not demand that Catholics pray the rosary, or venerate Mary or any other saint. One need never do any of it to be Catholic. The Church declares that Mary and the saints are role models, intercessors in heaven with God and channels of grace and love. The Church encourages a fellowship with Mary and with the saints. There is something in each of their lives that we can emulate in our own Christian journey.
But, there is only one whom the Church insists that we pray to, only one whom the Church declares to be the Christ, only one that the Church follows and worships and knows to be the font of grace and salvation.
