What I have done is to point out teaching from Scripture-God’s inerrant word-and juxtapose it with actual teaching of the Roman Catholic Cult (which satisfies your own definition...thank you) particularly from the catechism and asked simple questions.
Why won’t ant Roman Catholic give a straight answer? Has nothing to do with all of church fathers and Vatican I or II or whatever. It’s a simple question... Is Mary a Mediatrix as the catechism clearly states, or is Christ, according to his own statement? Can’t have it both ways.
And, please...don’t be so insulting to my intelligence as to play the straw man game. I’ve seen it played here and called it out for what it is. Someone (was it you or someone else?) accused me of a false dichotomy when there is only one answer and therefore NO false dichotomy.
Rome is heretical because it teaches another gospel. You may not like it but those are the facts.
Nice try but no cigar.

Mary mediatrix is not a church dogma. You can quote all you want, but it has never been proclaimed as a dogma, so it is merely an opinion of some people.
I suspect you don’t understand what it means. She is A mediator, not “THE Mediator”.
We are all “mediators” when we pray for other people...we often ask fellow Christians, including those in heaven (”cloud of witnesses”),to pray for us. This is called the “communion of saints”, which is mentioned in the Apostle’s creed...
Doesn’t your church emphasize spiritual warfare? About the importance of prayer warriors to stand in the gap? About Abraham mediating with God to stop destroying Sodom?
It is on a completely different level than the redemption of the cross. Jesus is God.
