"Mary is the intermediary through whom is distributed unto us this immense treasure of mercies gathered by God, for mercy and truth were created by Jesus Christ. Thus as no man goeth to the Father but by the Son, so no man goeth to Christ but by His Mother." (Vatican Website:  Encyclical of Pope Leo XIII on the Rosary, Octobri Mense, Pope Leo XIII, 1903-1914)

It's gotta be tough to be a catholic....there is sooooo much material you have to keep up with.

Being a Christian is easier....all you need is the Word.

This is why the Church promulgated the Catechism of the Catholic Church. It serves as a “sure norm for teaching the faith,” as well as a “sure and authentic reference text” for preparing local catechisms.

I would suggest that you use the Catechism as your source for raising objections to Catholic teaching. I am confident that you will find much in the Catechism that you do not like and it much more accurately reflects current Catholic beliefs than do the antiquated documents that you having been using.

You are correct sir. I was a catholic myself, till I was 21. I was in the USAF at the time, when some guys with the Navigators got to me, and told me the truth. I was mostly influenced by the fact that I did not feel I could ever live up to the Catholic plan of salvation. I could not do it, and that is why I now have faith in the REAL Jesus of the Bible, not the Jesus of the cults, and I think there are many false Christs out there.

Praise God bro, and maranatha.
