I would not expect you to even stumble across any understanding on Mary. Many Catholics by now do not know her either, as the centuries of the faithful did, who came before them.

I've read a great deal of roman catholic teachings on Mary. The overwhelming majority are false.

The catholic cannot point to anywhere in Scripture where mary is accorded the status of advocate, co-redemtrix or mediatrix.

Nor can the catholic point to Scripture that indicates we have to wear a piece of cloth to avoid the hell-fire as catholicism claims an apparition posing as Mary claimed.

I don't see a brick wall. I see false teachings in the roman catholic church on "mary".

Well, the brick wall is “sola scriptura”. Bible alone stunts all conversation or where remotely possible it is limited only to what is in the Bible. At least it did with me.

I was ignorant. I knew nothing of Christianity but the Bible. It was if the Bible gave us the Church. A crock.

The Church gave us the Bible. There was much that was not in the bible and common reason proves that point, as well as Scripture itself.

I recall walking out of an Episcopalian bible study once, when the pastor discussed faith and practices before the printing and common man use of the Bible. It was as if he had let a serpent loose before my eyes. Seriously, I left. Lol!

So, broad ignorance is not very authoritative, regardless of how puffed up one can sound in demonstrating it. That is the problem in a nut shell.
