Thanks, cloudmountain. :)

And don't forget that, while there is indeed only one salvatory Mediator between us and God (1 Tim 2:5), there are many communicative mediators, like Gabriel (Lk 1:26-38). God didn't deal with Mary directly there -- one of His creatures did!

Not likely I will forget it.
While in Saudi Arabia I acquired the habit of daily Mass. I continue it here at home SO I get a sermon EVERY DAY of my life.

During the homily, right after the priest reads the Gospel, we never get lectures or scoldings and when the priest does correct he is NEVER condescending.
Easy to take, listen to, learn, do and appreciate the MANY gifts from God.

A little bible study will clear up your faulty Catholic education...

The is ONE mediator between man and God...That's it...One...

There are many intercessors...And they are not the same...

And Gabriel was never an intercessor or a mediator...Angels can not perform those tasks...Angels are messengers, from God...They are not messengers from you to God...

True, there are instances where people have “talked” to angles, but I can think of no instance in the bible where anyone prayed to Gabriel or any other angel.
