“Jesus Loves His mother, and has allowed her on many occasion to “visit.” That some wish to ignore these facts ...”

Where exactly are you getting these “facts”? Please post them so I can see them.

““Always keep close to Our Heavenly Mother, because She is the sea that must be crossed, in order to reach the shores of eternal splendor, in the Kingdom of Dawn” —St. Padre Pio, stigmatist”

If Pio here is counting on “Mary” for his salvation, he will surely be more than disappointed. For his sake, I pray he was talking about his vacation to the Caribbean. (oh and that prayer went to God btw).

I’m sure the Mary, the sea that must be crossed to reach the kingdom of Dawn is the way to get there, because only Jesus leads to heaven.

If he’s counting on Mary to get him somewhere, he’s not going to be happy where he ends up. Calling hell by another name isn’t going to help and trusting anyone but Christ to get you somewhere won’t get you to heaven.

It's pretty safe to say that the words coming from Padre Pio during his earthly existence were inspired by the Holy Spirit, and should be paid close attention to.

"A few weeks later, on September 20, 1918, Padre Pio was praying in the choir loft in the Church of Our Lady of Grace, when the same Being who appeared to him on August 5, appeared again. It was the wounded Christ. When the ecstasy ended, Padre Pio had received the Visible Stigmata, the five wounds of Christ, which would stay with him for his remaining 50 years" --St. Padre Pio
