They leave the Church because they are sadly unaware of what she(Church) teaches. They think it is all about Mary in a 1:3 ration, when it is all about Jesus in ratio of 100%.
You sadly don’t know that the Church that brought you the Bible and even the FIRST English translation, is the Church that brought you Jesus, the one true holy, catholic, apostolic church.
Mary is the flashlight to open your eyes that Jesus is right in front of you, that you are blind to Jesus’ love and mercy.
Every have your mother open your eyes to how much your father does for you? You can call your father the name “father” right? Because that’s what he is supposed to be representing to you in the family, the domestic church. He’s a sinner, so he will fall short. But your mother will help you see through your blindness all the same, open your eyes. Often times, like the call of the Holy Spirit - the Light of Christ is ignored, in all of its majesty, by the too smart.
Thanks, but 95% of your post isn’t found in Scripture. As such, Christians must reject it.
“Mary is the flashlight to open your eyes that Jesus is right in front of you, that you are blind to Jesus’ love and mercy.”
Nonsense...on stilts. Like the true Mary would EVER put herself in front of the LORD. Jesus is the TRUE LIGHT THAT LIGHTS EVERY MAN. The SPIRIT opens eyes, not any human being.
It's always about Mary doing this, Mary doing that....
Without Mary, the roman catholic church would collapse.

Oh, please. Not this again. But wait, they've added something new
.....the church that brought us Jesus!!
As if.
Edition and publisher of the first Bible translated into English. We’re talking both OT and NT.
I've read this over and over again from posters on these threads.
I've come to the conclusion that this "Church" you talk about must have "brought" us their VERY LAST COPY - because it's evident that they don't have one of THEIR OWN to READ anymore... and, you're right: That IS sad.
So, every time I read this claim, that's what comes to mind.
Wrong, as the church of Rome simply did not exist as a visible church in the NT, which it is a profound deformation of , though she has a few members that belong to the transcendent body of Christ.
Regardless, even if your assertion was true, it would not warrant submission to her now.
Mary is the flashlight to open your eyes that Jesus is right in front of you, that you are blind to Jesus’ love and mercy.
Rather, the Mary of Scripture is wonderful example of one whose eyes saw the mercy and grace of God in using her as a holy vessel for His service.
While Mary of Catholicism is a demonic imitation which is used to detract from devotion to Christ. For one, nowhere in Scripture did any believer prayer to anyone else in Heaven but the Lord, despite approx. 200 prayers being recorded by the Spirit, as that is to His glory who alone is shown to have the ability to hear all such.
But your mother will help you see through your blindness all the same, open your eyes. Often times, like the call of the Holy Spirit - the Light of Christ is ignored, in all of its majesty, by the too smart.
More fantasy, as nowhere is set Mary forth as the Light of Christ, and after Acts 1, she is not even mentioned once in all the life of the church or letters to it. Just admit you are arguing from Rome's amorphous tradition, out of which she channels doctrine.
