Can you understand that to protestants this sounds like Mary is the door not Christ.

Yes. But you guys jettisoned Marian theology, so you can't claim now that she's anything but just Christ's Mother.

For me, she's an intercessor with Christ. "Son, behold your Mother. Mother, behold your Son."

Anyway, Marian devotion is not forced on any Catholic, and they can take it or leave it.

I leave most of it, but take this one.

Well I do not think that is a small thing to be the mother of Christ.That is more than any woman could desire .

Sink that scripture says nothing about intercession , but i do know that is a large part of the Catholic theology. It is one that of course that Protestants do not share

I also know that to be true. The problem with the scapula theology to me is it make Mary , not Jesus the Savior .

Do you agree with the belief that it is mary that dispenses grace?
