Personal prayer, personal Jesus, no intermediaries, as opposed to corporate ritualized impersonal prayers to everyone but God, no access to Christ except through Mary, a whole heirarchy of intermediaries and you need to keep them straight.

Thank God you're not describing the Catholic Church.

"Personal prayer, personal Jesus, no intermediaries, as opposed to corporate ritualized impersonal prayers to everyone but God, no access to Christ except through Mary, a whole heirarchy of intermediaries and you need to keep them straight." That description bears NO resemblance to the actual Catholic Church, but does sound like the boogeyman church created by the self aggrandizing "reformers" attempting to scare a few devotees away from the truth.
