**Salvation is now found in the Name of Jesus, because salvation means to enter into a relationship of childhood with God the Father. **

Are people reading the article?

I see what I usually see in Cathokic artwork. A big Mary and little Jesus. Perfectly illustrates the elevation of Mary in catholicism.

Of they are not reading the article. They are just spewing the standard Protestant venom that’s been drilled into their heads. Catholics worship Mary. Catholics believe Mary is a goddess. Catholics think Mary didn’t need a savior. Blah. Blah. Blah. They are just hoping to start a fight. Never mind that the gospel says that “all generations will call [Mary] blessed.” Never mind that St. John (Wedding feast at Cana) teaches us to ask Mary to intercede with Jesus when we are in trouble. Never mind that Jesus, hanging on the cross, gives us to Mary as her sons, and gives Mary to us as our mother.

They can explain away the whole New Testament if it doesn’t agree with their man-made doctrines.

After reading both the article and the replies it’s clear to me at least, that some didn’t read it at all. It’s literally 95% about God (Jesus) and 5% about Mary. Even just by a simple word count of those 3 words. But some see the title “Mother of God” and react in basal fashion, like some wild animal acting on instinct when confronted with fire.

The article couldn’t be more insightful, informative, and last but not least, “all about God”, and “taking the focus off Mary”, as all Marian dogmas do really. But this isn’t good enough for some.

Nestorius would be proud.
