Has Catholicism taught you this limitation of only TWO choices here?
I see Mary for what she was described as in the bible.
Nothing more; nothing less.
I don't have to send prayers out the window for GOD to hear them or to knock down a wall for them to get thru to Him.
Tell us what you believe:
Do you believe you HAVE to go thru Mary for your prayers to be received by the Father?
To hour question: no.
