Catholics believe Jesus is unapproachable, so they go to his mother to intercede and gain sway with the Son of God. Mary, though a dead woman and incapable of hearing prayer, is an intercessor for Catholics. Sadly, that is how their system works.

Not exactly -- we encounter Him in of His very Self at every Mass -- Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity.

Do people not have souls? If I am able to pray for you, or you for me, or me for the soul of my dead brother - then can not the soul of the unstained Mother of Christ also be influenced by our prayers?

That is not my understanding of their adoration for Mary.

They revere her as the mother of Jesus. I do as well but, we all cry out to God and ask in the name of Jesus, His will be done.

Catholics approach Jesus all the time. Every day when I receive Communion.

Where did you get the strange notion that Catholics are afraid to approach Jesus?

I don’t know why because Jesus Christ is VERY approachable. I have felt his presence more than once, and wonderful it was.

LOL ... He's so unapproachable that we receive him -- body, blood, soul, and divinity -- on our tongues under the form of bread, some of us every day. Don't you wish you had a Jesus as "unapproachable" as ours?
