Yup.

Along with CCC 969 which teaches:
"969 "This motherhood of Mary in the order of grace continues uninterruptedly from the consent which she loyally gave at the Annunciation and which she sustained without wavering beneath the cross, until the eternal fulfillment of all the elect. Taken up to heaven she did not lay aside this saving office but by her manifold intercession continues to bring us the gifts of eternal salvation . . . . Therefore the Blessed Virgin is invoked in the Church under the titles of Advocate, Helper, Benefactress, and Mediatrix."512

Contrast this blasphemy with:
John 14:6
"6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

Hmmm. Mary provides salvation? Really?

or...

Acts 4:11-12:
"11 This Jesus is the stone that was rejected by you, the builders, which has become the cornerstone. 12 And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”

Funny that Mary's name isn't there since the RCC says she provides salvation...

or...

1 Timothy 2:5:
"5 For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,"

Yet, even though God's word SAYS plainly -- from God himself in Christ Jesus and support by Paul's inspiration though the Holy Spirit, there is ONE mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, the Roman Catholic Cult teaches that Mary is a "Mediatrix."

I wonder, what is it about the word "one" that Roman Catholics don't get?

And, finally:
Galatians 1:6-9
"6 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— 7 not that there is another one, but there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed. 9 As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed."

Sounds like Paul is talking about the Roman Catholic Church! It teaches a false gospel -- it teaches that Catholics worship the same false god as Muslims -- that Mary is another mediator and provides salvation when Christ ALONE provides both...

Roman Catholicism? No thanks. I'll take Christianity any day of the week and twice on Sundays. :D

"969 "This motherhood of Mary in the order of grace continues uninterruptedly from the consent which she loyally gave at the Annunciation...

Sigh...

Still again getting it.

Luke 1:26-38 New International Version (NIV)

²⁶In the sixth month of Elizabeth’s pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, ²⁷to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. ²⁸The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.”

²⁹Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. ³⁰But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. ³¹You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus. ³²He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, ³³and he will reign over Jacob’s descendants forever; his kingdom will never end.”

³⁴“How will this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?”

³⁵The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called^[a] the Son of God. ³⁶Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be unable to conceive is in her sixth month. ³⁷For no word from God will ever fail.”

³⁸“I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May your word to me be fulfilled.” Then the angel left her.

(will is NOT asking!)
