They don’t care that over and over again God’s Word is denigrated in favor of worshiping a dead, sinful woman.

I get the impression many American, English speaking Roman Catholics do not "worship" Mary, despite there being 'cult of Mary' within Catholicism who do focus much upon capital "H" -Her-.

The title of this thread is telling, though...


When Elisha looked to the hills (towards where his salvation was) seeing a heavenly host --- was Mary there, leading them on?

I don't think so.

Would the Lord send her to lead His Heavenly host into battle today, tomorrow -- or some time in the past, between now, and since when Mary left this mortal coil which we who are yet alive in earthly flesh and blood are yet still wound?

She is safely hid, in Christ, I'm rather sure. I'd like to think so. Why wouldn't she be? She was 'elected' (selected by God), was she not? Mary would not be abandoned, and neither shall many others of us.

That still does not mean that any should bother Mary with prayers directed at herself -- although she and others may hear some prayers --addressed to the Lord God Almighty.

Would not the Lord Himself hear any word uttered towards her ---or towards most anyone, anywhere?

He is omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent.

We see as through a glass darkly, but then, when the perfect is come, face to face. (paraphrased by memory from the New Berkely Edition -- which in 1 Corinthians 13 admittedly did move phrases around from one verse, to skipping over several to combine with a verse several numbered verses away from where a phrase lifted -- but I like that chapter of it -- wish I could find it online)
