The RCC's continued and ardent desire to have a female goddess (as the other pagan religions do) is reflected in the international Catholic movement Vox Populi Mariae Mediatrici, which is seeking to encourage the papal definition of the Blessed Virgin Mary as “Co-redemptrix, Mediatrix of all graces, and Advocate.”

And it's a safe bet you have never read a single word of the theology behind that, which is profoundly Biblical, authentic, true, Christian, and right. You speak out of ignorance and prejudice and nothing else, except when you speak out of malice.

Ah --- right. Perhaps one citation to the Bible. I know that's alot to ask. How about one.

Look, I know that's unfair and rhetorical. The RCC does not feel bound to Biblical Christianity. It believes it can work with whole cloth and make up any crazy doctrine it wishes. If it did believe itself restricted to Biblical Christiantity, there would be no 'perpetual virginity' of Mary, no praying to Mary, no rosaries, no purgatory, no sale of indulgences, no 'transubstantiation', no pope, no papal 'infallability'. Golly, I guess what would be left would be Jesus Christ and Him alone -- and that, as Martha Stewart would say, would be 'a good thing.'

Thank you. I imagine that WinstonChurchill is a misathrope or has some serious trouble with his mother. See what happens without the maternal influence of the MOTHER OF GOD? (That should make the Mary haters flinch). It's so funny to hear the Bible (Sola Scriptura) Christians base all beliefs on scripture and ignore the facts of who assembled the bible and the wisdom of the apostles that wrote the books in the new testament Acts through Revelation. There was no bible when Christ built his Church, only teachers. Thanks again.
