"That is blasphemy."

A false charge of blasphemy was the crime for which Christ was killed. Do you even know the meaning of blasphemy? Where do you find the definition in Scripture? What gives you the right, the ability or power to declare blasphemy against anyone?

Blasphemy is directly opposed to the second commandment. It consists in uttering against God - inwardly or outwardly - words of hatred, reproach, or defiance; in speaking ill of God; in failing in respect toward him in one's speech; in misusing God's name. None of that in any way describes the ministerial priesthood of the Catholic Church. Just the opposite, Catholics do everything out of love and worship of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

The prohibition of blasphemy extends to language against Christ's Church, the saints, and sacred things. It is also blasphemous to make use of God's name to cover up criminal practices, to reduce peoples to servitude, to torture persons or put them to death. The misuse of God's name to commit a crime such as leading others into a Reformist heresy or into hatred of their Christian Brothers and Sisters, or to repudiate religion because of the lack of Beatitude by those who profess to be of God is equally blasphemous.

yet somehow

NOT blasphemous

to functionally and linguistically make Mary a 4th person of the Trinity;

to declare that Salvation is possible only through her;

that only through her can God be approached;

that she is the QUEEN OF HEAVEN

that she rules hell

yada yada yada

what cheeky duplicitous hubris!

And as we now see, the Catholic church is filled with blasphemy by your own standards.

You're getting there.

A perfect description of every pope there ever has been, from the 6th century onward. The era of antichrist.
