These two photo's are interesting and speak volumes really...for you have the catholic mary with this monstrance ...the pope with his jesuit emblem on his cloak, and the emblem of the thorns surrouding the images head....note the half mood she rests on

This image is called "The 'Monstrance' of Our Lady of the Sign, Ark of Mercy".....catholics Mary hovers over the Ark of the Covenant, note the angels kneeling to her with their wings protecting her...The image, to catholics, that Mary is the Ark of the New Covenant and that, because of their assertion that she "contained the uncontainable God," she was herself the first monstrance.

Here we have a bone of a corpse inside a Monstrance.....The Roman Catholics bow down before this bone of supposedly Francis Xavier, and pray....they have many such relics displayed and shared among the various churches

More on this blasphemous structure....btw...it's a nine foot hand carved idol.

The iconic monstrance, Our Lady of the Sign – Ark of Mercy, was unveiled and blessed by Cardinal Francis George, May 31, 2008, on the Feast of the Visitation. The idea of the iconic monstrance was conceived nine years prior to its unveiling. At that time a call was heard which resulted in the entrustment and consecration of the parish of St. Stanislaus Kostka to the Blessed Virgin Mary. A discernment led by Fr. Anthony Bus C.R. inspired a parish wide response to establish in the heart of Chicago, a Sanctuary to The Divine Mercy. The doors of the parish were opened and eyes were turned to Mary, Holy Queen and Mother of Mercy, that the “cacophony of the world not shout into silence the voice of the living God.” It was accepted that the Blessed Virgin Mary had asked for and created space for sacred silence that the voice of her Son would be heard anew and that He would be adored in the Blessed Sacrament. http://www.sanctuaryofthedivinemercy.org/Our-Lady-of-the-Sign/Our-Lady-of-the-Sign-Ark-of-Mercy-12.html

In an interview last week with thedivinemercy.org, Fr. Anthony recalled how in 1999, while his parish was experiencing deep financial difficulties, he decided to make a consecration of his life to Our Lady. During preparation for the consecration, he felt a "strong pull to Our Lady."

"I heard Our Lady say in a very distinct way, 'Make me Mother and Queen of the parish,'" he recalled. "It was at that point, I consecrated the parish to Our Lady, and then it became very, very clear — an interior intuition or sense or detailed call — that she was asking for a sanctuary for The Divine Mercy, and that was being confirmed right and left, all over the place. We went into the Jubilee Year, and we just had confirmation after confirmation." http://thedivinemercy.org/news/story.php?NID=3184

So much for needing Jesus for anything.

This is blasphemy, apostasy, and whatever else you can think of.

Exodus 20 King James Version (KJV)

20 And God spake all these words, saying,

2 I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.

5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;

6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

Replacing God with Mary on the mercy seat then denying that they deify Mary. Wow! And the monstronce with the sun burst of the sun god rah. That image sure does say something.
