When will you understand it is the Vatican not some TV program that constitutes and proclaims Catholic doctrine.

You guys aren't very good at bait and switch game...

Had you followed the link I provided for the quote that all salvation must go thru Mary, you'd have seen it was from a popish encyclical...Right from the Catholic head hog to the bishops...

What is an Encyclical?

An encyclical is a formal pastoral letter written by or in collaboration with the pope. Encyclicals focus on timely teachings on matters of faith and morals. They are the usual means by which the pope exercises teaching authority as the chief pastor and teacher of the whole Church. Catholics are usually obliged to obey the moral and theological content of all encyclicals.

And where does this definition come from???

It's an encyclical...It IS the official teaching of your popes...You must go thru Mary to receive Salvation...

Once again the measure of your interpretation of this document has been taken and found wanting. You have taken unwarranted license with the document which does not correlate to your assertion.

If you can't discern the meaning of this document then how can you claim to correctly interpret scripture? You know this document in no way asserts Mary is mandatory for salvation. Poor critical analysis tends to confuse and lead to false assumptions. But others have told you the same thing many times yet you do not heed their admonitions and blame your failings on "Weasel Words" to compensate for inadequacies in comprehension.
