Wrong. They do in practice. Actions speak louder than words.
That virtually ALL the saints Loved and adored Mary, should be an eye-opener.
No on that one as well. Lots of Catholics who aren't saints do the same thing.
Also, that Mary appeared on earth should be of importance to anyone seeking the Truth. Remember, Christ allowed these apparitions!
It's proof of nothing. Apparitions is probably the correct term.
Would He allow His mother to make statements like "I am the Immaculate Conception" if it were not True?
Well, to start with, you have to know for sure that it was Mary. Satan himself can appear as an angel of light. If a being appears to someone and makes a statement that is not Biblically sound, it ought to be suspect. God is NEVER going to contradict His written word and there's NOTHING in Scripture that indicates that Mary was conceived without sin. On the contrary, her own recognition of need for a savior indicates otherwise. The Bible also tells us that all have sinned and fall short of God's glory and that there are none that are righteous.
Besides, Mary didn't need to be conceived without sin. There was no need for it at all.
Metmom, a myriad of positive, good, miracles flowed from the appearances of Mary. This alone, tells you her apparitions were not of the devil, but of Christ. Satan cannot heal the deaf or give sight to the blind, only Christ can.
