Metmom, Mary is a go-between, and you evidently didn't read Fr. Mark's prayer in its totality or you would have read these words;

" ... as my Advocate and all-powerful intercessor and Mediatrix, present them to thy Son.

Nowhere in Father Mark's prayer, does he refer to Mary as God. Her purpose is to bring people to her Son. If you'd like to learn about the Catholic Faith, instead of spreading calumny, please see the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and anything written by Father J. Hardon. My husband recommended Aquinas or Augustine, and he especially recommended The Story of a Soul, which is an autobiography of St. Therese of Lisieux, "The Little Flower." It is an easy read, whereas Aquinas and/or Augustine are surely tougher. One of my favorite holy books as a complement to the Holy Bible is The Imitation of Christ by Thomas A. Kempis. If you read anything from these books (here's a link to search the Catechism) and wish to discuss their content, that would be cool.

Ahhhhh, yes . . .

The OUTRAGEOUSLY UNBIBLICAL, devilish, idolatrous, blasphemous

MEDIATRIX role

foisted upon the sheeple by various bureaucratic elite power mongering blokes.

What an insult to the authentic Biblical Mary.

[metmom]

I Timothy 2:5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, 6who gave himself as a ransom for all men—the testimony given in its proper time.

We don't need a go between between us and God because Jesus is that one.

Saying that Mary is a go between and an Advocate is blasphemy in no uncertain terms. She is NOT omnipotent, she is NOT a medatrix, she is NOT our Advocate.

That prayer by that man does not in so many words say *Mary is God* but attributing to her all the characteristics certainly does.

We come to Jesus on our own. We don't need to go through someone to get to Him.

Thank you however for admitting the truth about what the RCC teaches about Mary's position. But for the sake of your soul, go to the One who died for you, Jesus Christ. No one else can save. If you follow someone besides Jesus, you will end up in hell.

If Mary is a go-between, why did she say “Do whatever He tells you”, and, why don’t you?

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Anyone who believes Mary to be their "Advocate and all-powerful intercessor and Mediatrix" reveals their lack of Scriptural understanding.

They need to study the word of God to show themselves approved.
