You like questions and answers so much. You come in thinking you are going to try to ask the questions. Answer the original question I asked you then answer the following ones or I will know that you are nothing but straw man.

Questions for one Lord one faith one baptism

1. “God has committed to her the treasury of all good things, in order that everyone may know that through her are obtained every hope, every grace, and all salvation. For this is his will, that we obtain everything through Mary.” (Pius IX: Encycl., Ubi primum, February 2, 1849.) — [p. 12, number 12]

Question: Jesus never taught His disciple to teach that Salvation was through Mary. When did that change?

2. “O Virgin most holy, none abounds in the knowledge of God except through thee; none, O Mother of God, obtains salvation except through thee, none receives a gift from the throne of mercy except through thee.” (Leo XIII: Encycl., Adiutricem populi, September 5, 1895.) — [p. 12, no. 13]

Question: Did Jesus deceive His disciples in the following verse?

“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” John 14:6

3. “With equal truth it may be said that of the great treasury of all graces given to us by Our Lord—for grace and truth came by Jesus Christ—nothing comes to us except through Mary’s mediation, for such is God’s Will. Thus, as no man goes to the Father but by the Son, so no one goes to Christ except through his mother.” (Leo XIII, Encycl., Octobri mense, September 22, 1891.) — [pp. 13,14, no. 19]

Question: If that is true why did Jesus and the Apostles not tell those who they wrote to and preached to?

i am glad you think Cyril was a Christian, even though he believed and taught the Catholic doctrines of baptismal regeneration and the Real Presence in the Eucharist. Keep reading him and St Iraneus and you may even stop fighting the Church.
Now, on these silly Mary questions. Because Mary was the human vessel God chose to give Jesus flesh from and Jesus became man thru Mary, and salvation is from Jesus alone, we can say that all graces flow thru Mary since Jesus, the source of all grace, came from Mary. Just as Jesus said Salvation is from the Jews, John 4:22. You would object and say Salvation is from Jesus, both statements are correct since Jesus is a Jew. You are mistaken if you take those statements to mean Mary is God, as i think you are implying. NO, NO, NO, Mary is a created being!!! God alone is to be worshipped!
Try getting Baptism and the Eucharist right first, before worrying about Mary or the Popes!
