Monsignor Pope Ping!

Glad to see the Msgr get it about there is no other way except through Christ.

This completely wipes out any reliance upon Mary for anything....including salvation and/or answered prayers.

It is through Christ and Christ alone!

Is the Pope Catholic? Does the Bear SH** in the woods? The answer to the latter is an unequivocal YES. The answer to the former is up for discussion and debate. Cuz he sure doesn't act like it!

This guy is acting exactly as I would expect the False Prophet to the AntiChrist to act when the kingdom of Satan rules this earth during the era when the Book of Revelation will control events.

Anti-Christ = Technology

or Vladimir Lenin - father of Communism.

Vladimir's mother was Mary and grandmother was Ann

That’s because Christ’s One Holy Catholic and Apostolic church HAS NEVER TAUGHT ANYTHING ELSE. Strawmen thrown up on message boards like these, notwithstanding.

““Gospel” here refers to the whole of the New Testament rather than merely the four Gospels. ”

He misses this entirely, apparently not reading the context and not understanding the Gospel of Grace.

If only he read the whole chapter...

“Christ’s One Holy Catholic and Apostolic church HAS NEVER TAUGHT ANYTHING ELSE”

Not what Ratzinger declared.

Catholics seem to say one thing but mean another.

No one can enter into Heaven except through Mary, as entering through a gate. St. Bonaventure

Mary is called "The Gate of Heaven" because no one can enter Heaven but through her means. St. Alphonsus Maria Liguori

Holy Scripture was written for Mary, about Mary, and on account of Mary. St. Bernard

All gifts, virtues, and graces of the Holy Ghost are administered by the hands of Mary to whomsoever she desires, when she desires, and in the manner she desires, and to whatever degree she desires. St. Bernardine of Siena

No man is delivered or preserved from the world-wide snares of Satan except through Mary; and God grants His graces to no one except through her alone. St. Germanus of Constantinople

Also another factor: FEAR. 😱

I have a quick question.

If you have a problem and need prayers from others, would as others to intercede for you?

[Biggirl]

Correction: Would you ask others to pray for you?

Thought you didn't want to chat any longer?

[ealgeone]

Correction: Would you ask others to pray for you?

Based on what we have in the NT...we can ask fellow Christians, that is those here on earth, to pray with and for us.

These prayers are always directed to God as evidenced in the NT.

Want to end the chat on a good note. Thank-you.

[ealgeone]

NP. Always glad to chat.

"Glad to see the Msgr get it about there is no other way except through Christ.... This completely wipes out any reliance upon Mary for anything....including salvation and/or answered prayers."

You are misled or misleading, my friend. Yes, Christ is the only Way to salvation. But your inaccurate restatement , actually a counter-statement ("This completely wipes out...") completely wipes out the Body of Christ, which is the Communion of Saints, believers, who need each other:

1 Corinthians 12:21
The eye cannot say to the hand, “I don’t need you,” or the head to the feet, “I don’t need you

And it completely wipes out the very lifeblood of the Body of Christ, which is our love and prayers for one another in Christ:

James 5:16
"The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.

We -- you, me, and Mary too ---are members of Christ. And Christ does it all.

Dominus Iesus

DECLARATION "DOMINUS IESUS" ON THE UNICITY AND SALVIFIC UNIVERSALITY OF JESUS CHRIST AND THE CHURCH

by Joseph Ratzinger

Repays careful reading (LINK).

[Mrs. Don-o]

The ansewrs to your questions are all in the solidly Biblical doctrine of the Body of Christ.

Glad to clear that up for you.

[Mrs. Don-o]

Mary is a fellow Christian. She prays to God: just as yuou do. And I do as well.
