"I certainly agree that there must be some Roman Catholics whose hearts are filled with Christ alone."

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.

Loving Mary as a friend is a good thing. We are called to love all those who love God.

Loving Mary as a "mediator between God and men;" as a "co-redeemer;" and as a "dispensatrix of all grace" is not a good thing. In fact, it is expressly forbidden by God according to His holy word. Thus, it is a very bad thing.

"Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.

Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God" -- Exodus 20:4-5


"For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" -- 1 Timothy 2:5

Rome teaches error. Rome teaches men to love Mary because she supposedly dispenses salvation to each men.

Blaspehmy.

“Every grace to man has three degrees. One, by God it is communicated to Christ. Two, by Christ it is passed to the Virgin. Three, from the Virgin it descends to us.” -- Pope Leo XIII

Flee from that pernicious lie. Here's the truth...

By Christ every grace is directly passed on to His sheep; to those who are called by God; to those whom He loved in order for them to love Him; to believers.
