What many Protestants cling to...
 
For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith— that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, that by any means possible I may attain the resurrection from the dead. Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
 
 
What many Catholics cling to...
 
For her sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ and be found in her, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Mary, the righteousness from God that depends on faith and Sacrements— that I may know her and the power of her sinlessness, and may share her sufferings, becoming like her in her life, that by any means possible I may attain the resurrection from the dead. Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus' mom  has made me her own. Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Mary; Christ Jesus' mother.
