People are better off reading the Bible than books on Catholicism.

The books he listed will teach you about Jesus and Mary, Mary, and Mary. Jesus to Mary in a 1:3 ratio?

What’s wrong with this picture?

It’s clear Catholicism is more about Mary than Jesus.

For anyone who wants a religion centered around a goddess type female figure, I guess Catholicism can’t be beat.

But for ex-Catholic who found Jesus, no amount of Mary indoctrination will convince them to return.

Whenever God has used me to bring a new/backslider to Him I NEVER portray my denomination as the one true church. I encourage the Saint to find a church that clearly and often teaches salvation through faith in Jesus alone.

“The books he listed will teach you about Jesus and Mary, Mary, and Mary. Jesus to Mary in a 1:3 ratio?”

Did you read the article? Did you miss this statement?:

These “Catholic Classics” proudly promote Jesus Christ as the “Centre of our Faith”.

It’s clear Catholicism is more about Mary than Jesus.

I wonder why???
