lol. Calvinists can recognize a truthful statement even when it is surrounded by disparaging remarks. Unlike Roman Catholics who howl about any criticism of their papacy, even to the point of ridiculing evidence in plain sight.

From the website you referenced, we see there are actually TWO photos of Mary on the cross with Jesus, one in Rome and another in Poland...

Note the following quotations from the Vatican II Council of the 1960s:

“As St. Irenaeus says, she being obedient, became the cause of salvation for herself and for the whole human race. Hence not a few of the early Fathers gladly assert with him in their preaching ... ‘death through Eve, LIFE THROUGH MARY.’ This UNION OF THE MOTHER WITH THE SON IN THE WORK OF SALVATION is made manifest from the time of Christ’s virginal conception up to his death” (Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, chap. 8, II, 56, pp. 380-381).

“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. By her maternal charity, she cares for the brethren of her Son, who still journey on earth surrounded by dangers and difficulties, until they are led into their blessed home. Therefore the Blessed Virgin is invoked in the Church under the titles of ADVOCATE, HELPER, BENEFACTRESS, and MEDIATRIX” (Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, chap. 8, II, 62, pp. 382-383).

A plaque in the Chapel of the Virgin of the Grace at Saints Vincent and Anastasius Church in Rome says, “Cardinal Benedetto Odescalchi, who became the pope with the name of Innocent XI, initiated THE WORSHIP OF THE IMAGE, placed on the altar in 1677, and wanted his heart to be buried here, not in the main chapel.”

Rome continues the double-speak.

Do you honestly expect us to trust the translations of some preacher who trolled around Rome looking for examples that he could fit into his Anti-Catholic blog?!?

LOLOL!

Seriously, I’ve given up on MSNBC and CNN for a reason. AGENDA.
The dude had an agenda and boy his Italian translations sure made them fit.

So who what the artists for those works? What year were they made and what is the story behind them?

Or should we call you Rick Sanchez?
