But Rome works to thwart that goal. All RCs are told they must believe in the RC catechism and in that catechism we find profound error regarding Mary...
Mary lived a sinless life (RC catechism 411, 493.) Mary is the mother of God (RC catechism 963, 971, 2677.) Mary is the mother of the church (RC catechism 963, 975.) Mary is the co-redeemer because she participated with Christ in the redeeming the entire world (RC catechism 618, 964, 968, 970.) Mary was assumed bodily into heaven at her death (RC catechism 966, 974.) Mary is the mediator to whom we can entrust all our worries and prayers (RC catechism 968-970, 2677.) We should surrender ourselves wholly to Mary "at the hour of our death." (RC catechism 2677.) Mary is Queen of heaven and earth (RC catechism 966, 971, 2675.)Mary was preserved from all stain of original sin from the first moment of her conception (RC catechism 490-492.)
These things a Roman Catholic MUST believe and some of them are complete idolatry. We're all sinners and we all grieve God daily. But this kind of blindness is almost incomprehensible to anyone with a Bible and the ability to read.

ABSOLUTELY INDEED.
Is there no room in your heart for God the Father and the Holy Spirit? Love is not a finite commodity. I can love God with all of my heart, mind, and soul and still have love for my wife, children and grandchildren, brothers, sisters, friends and neighbors and can still find love for Mary and the Saints.
