LOL! That's just silly and is completely contrary to all Catholic doctrine. Do you actually read what you type before you hit the post button?
I was merely giving my interpretation of a scene I have seen many times.
So, at least we've clarified that it is your interpretation. It's just too bad that your interpretation is incorrect.
By definition, yes. But I am not suggesting you rely on her for your salvation or that you pray to her.
Catholics do not rely upon Mary for salvation either. You've created the perfect strawman. Nice work.
Yes, as a matter of fact I do read what I type.
"The same worship is rendered to Mary as to Christ. Churches are built to her honour; her shrines are crowded with devotees; enriched with their gifts; and adorned with their votive offerings. To her prayers are addressed as to a divine being, and blessing are asked as from one who has power to bestow them. Her votaries are taught to pray, 'Spare us, good Lady,' and 'From all evil, good Lady, deliver us.' Five annual festivals celebrate her greatness, and keep alive the devotion of her worshippers. In Roman Catholic countries the dawn is ushered in with hymns to her honour; her praises are again chanted at noon, and the day is closed with an Ave Maria sung to the Lady of Heaven." (James A. Wylie, The Papacy, London (1852) p. 370)
James Wylie was a Catholic theologian.
So, at least we've clarified that it is your interpretation. It's just too bad that your interpretation is incorrect.
My interpretation was about a soldier on the battlefield, and it is quite correct.
Catholics do not rely upon Mary for salvation either.
Ever hear of this?
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now, and at the hour of death.
Or this?
Pope John Paul II in his General audience of Wednesday, December 18, 1996 said: “Beginning with Simeon’s prophesy, Mary intensely and mysteriously unites her life with Christ’s sorrowful mission: she was to become her Son’s faithful co-worker for the salvation of the human race.” (L’Osservatore Romano, January 1, 1997).
Sounds as if Catholics do.
