Jesus is the Life Preserver. Mary is the Rope He Chose To Reel Us In.

My catechism says Mary is a co-mediatrix...

Your catechism is wrong because Scripture alludes to no such thing.

[metmom]

I guess you didn’t read the part about “Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.

So what are those traditions to which Paul was referring?

How do you know they were from Paul?

How do you know they were passed down faithfully and without corruption?

Please cited your sources for verification purposes.

Clearly, the “Appointed Times.”

The Church does not teach that Mary is the Mother of God the Father or God the Holy Spirit.

Hey, YOU ALL are the ones insisting that Mary is *mother of God*. Period.

If she's the *mother of God* because she's the mother of Jesus and Jesus is God therefore, she's the mother of God (Catholic "logic" for lack of a better term) then if the Father and the Holy Spirit are also god, then she is their mother also.

Congratulations, you have joined Mormonism in believing in a god who is a created being.

Here's a free tip: sola scriptura is not in scripture.

They can be found in the catechism of the Catholic Church. Google it. You’re welcome

If you won't provide the information requested, it doesn't exist.

Catholics are the ones who believe it. We are under no obligation to prove something we don't believe.

If you can't be bothered to support your claims, then I don't see why anyone should give it any serious consideration.

The vast majority of catholic laity think ‘immaculate conception’ refers to Jesus’ virgin birth...sad and pathetic come to mind

[metmom]

IOW, it doesn’t exist.

[metmom]

So Jesus Christ is not God, Himself? He's just a mediator? Interesting.

Your argument is with God breathed, Holy Spirit inspired Scripture.

1 Timothy 2:5-6 For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all, which is the testimony given at the proper time.

Party Pooper!

[metmom]

Show us where Mary is named by name in the OT.

[metmom]

Can you add?

120 disciples.

11 apostles.

1 Mary.

Do the math.

So much for all that criticism of YOPIOS as being invalid because all the *interpretations* disagree.

If they were Catholic, they'd all agree on every last point of doctrine, right?

Like about the immaculate conception.

Or whether Vatican 2 is binding on Catholics.

Or whether Francis is a legitimate pope and is required to be submitted to.

“1. Mary’s triune role as co-Redemptrix, Mediatrix, Advocatrix is a reflection of the Three Persons of the Holy TrinitY”

Heresy and not found in Scripture.

Just part of making Mary into an idol and demigoddess.

[HarleyD]

You are right. I found this a hoot.

...Jesus' first disciple was his mother,

Rather stretching the truth. Mary (and Jesus' half brothers and sisters) thought Jesus was crazy.

Luke 8:19-21 And His mother and brothers came to Him, and they were unable to get to Him because of the crowd. And it was reported to Him, “Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, wishing to see You.” But He answered and said to them, “My mother and My brothers are these who hear the word of God and do it.”

That doesn't means Mary didn't remember the miracles surrounding the birth. It only means that, like the disciples on many occasions, Mary wasn't able to process the events. She treasured up these things in her heart but she didn't understand how they all fit together.

All it is, is justification for idolatry.

Um....No.
