Article #6 on Roman Catholicism
Devotion to Mary is on the rise. This Lady is a dazzling attraction to a billion Catholics worldwide. Her admirers increase with every century! More churches and cathedrals have been dedicated to Mary than to Jesus Christ. The parishioners of the same can be heard addressing Mary in their liturgies of prayer, song, and ceremony, as they call her, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven, Advocate, Mediatrix, co-Redemptress, Conciliatrix, and Reparatrix. Nevertheless, Catholics insist that they aren’t worshipping Mary. They would have you read the four official Marian Dogmas that are esteemed to be infallible on the subject. Catholics argue that they are only venerating and honoring Mary for her role in redemption. Do you agree? The words and deeds of Catholics speak for themselves.
“The power thus put into her hands is all but unlimited. How unerringly right, then, are Christian souls when they turn to Mary for help as though impelled by an instinct of nature, confidently sharing with her their future hopes and past achievements, their sorrows and joys, commending themselves like children to the care of a bountiful mother. How rightly, too, has every nation and every liturgy without exception acclaimed her great renown, which has grown greater with the voice of each succeeding century. Among her many other titles we find her hailed as ‘our Lady, our Mediatrix,' ‘the Reparatrix of the whole world,’ ‘the Dispenser of all heavenly gifts.’” –Pope Leo XIII, Adiutricem
Naturally, we are all inclined to exalt our mothers. Our earliest memories are graced with love, nurture, care, and compassion coming from mom! She was always there for us. Where would we be today without mother? Catholics imagine that Jesus Christ was similarly impacted by His mother in the formative years of His adolescence. Therefore, they believe that the Lord would want to install her in the role of “Queen Mother” in the Kingdom of Heaven as some of the Kings of Israel did on earth in ancient times (1 Kings 2:20; Jer. 13:18; 29:2). However, when the common people tried to credit Mary for the Man that Jesus Christ had become, the Lord immediately corrected their misunderstanding.
“And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked. But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.” - Luke 11:27-28
Jesus Christ would not suffer the people to give undue honor to His mother. Divine providence orchestrated this event for our learning. This correction is a perfectly delivered rebuke of the Marian Dogmas promoted by Roman Catholicism: (1) Divine Motherhood, (2) Immaculate Conception, (3) Perpetual Virginity, & (4) the Assumption.
The Marian Dogmas of Roman Catholicism
Catholics exalt Mary through her maternal position as they regularly call her “the Mother of God”. However, being a sinner would greatly discredit the influence of her mothering of Jesus Christ. Therefore, Catholics insist that Mary was immaculately conceived, which means that she was “preserved immune from all stain of original sin” (Pope Pius IX, Dec. 8, 1854). She then proceeded to live a sinless life until the end. In the words of Pope Pius IX, “She was ever free from the least stain of sin” (Pope Pius IX). In other words, Mary was the first person ever to obtain sinless perfection since the Fall of Mankind in the genesis of time. Secondarily, Jesus Christ was also sinlessly perfect, but He was God manifest in human flesh. There is a reasonable explanation for why Jesus Christ was sinlessly perfect. However, Mary was just like the rest of us! She was 100% human and 0% God. Therefore, how could she have been sinlessly perfect?
“If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.” – 1 Jn. 1:8
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” – Rom. 3:23
The whole human race has been corrupted by sin through the Fall of Mankind in the Garden of Eden (Rom. 5:12-14). Sin is a hereditary problem that has been passed on to the whole Family Tree. We inherit sin at birth, and this makes us sinners by nature (Ps. 51:5). Therefore, a mere man or woman cannot be sinlessly perfect. Only God is perfect! Therefore, as sinners, we have “come short of the glory of God” (Rom. 3:23). Literally, sinless perfection is the glory of God! So why are Catholics promoting Mary as someone who is godlike in glory?
Catholics also believe in her perpetual virginity, even though Mary had sons and daughters after giving birth to Jesus, all of whom are explicitly mentioned in Holy Scripture as the brothers and sisters of the Lord (Mk. 6:3, Matt. 12:46-47, Acts 1:14). Finally, Catholics believe that Mary never died. Theologically, how could she die if she wasn’t a sinner? Rather, they believe she ascended into Heaven in the Assumption (Lumen Gentium, II Vatican Council, 972).

The Queen of Heaven Sitting
in Between the Cherubims
"Mary sitteth at the right hand of her Son." – Pope Pius X, Ad Diem Illum Laetissimum
“…Mary, the Virgin Mother of God, reigns with a mother's solicitude over the entire world, just as she is crowned in heavenly blessedness with the glory of a Queen.” - Pope Pius XII, Ad Caeli Reginam (1)
The godlike qualities of Mary have expanded into new realms through her ascension. She is now deemed worthy of the title, Queen of Heaven. Why? Catholics believe that she is literally reining as a Queen over all things in heaven and earth. Hence, she is sitting on the right hand of the Son of God, even as the Son of God is sitting on the right hand of the Father. Her throne is conspicuously positioned alongside the Trinity as a fourth member of royalty that sits in between the Cherubim.
“Ardent voices from the East sing out: ‘O Mother of God, today thou art carried into Heaven on the chariots of the Cherubim, the Seraphim wait upon thee and the ranks of the heavenly army bow before thee.’” - Pope Pius XII, Ad Caeli Reginam (27)
"I shall sing a hymn to the mother, the Queen, whom I joyously approach in praise, gladly celebrating her wonders in song. . . Our tongue cannot worthily praise thee, O Lady; for thou who hast borne Christ the king art exalted above the Seraphim. . . Hail, O Queen of the World; hail, O Mary, Queen of us All." - Pope Pius XII, Ad Caeli Reginam (28)
According to Holy Scripture, only God sits in between the Cherubims (Ps. 80:1, 99:1, Isa. 37:16). This location is the Holy of Holies in Heaven, the place where a thrice holy God dwells in eternity (Rev. 4:6-8). Literally, the Throne of God is in the midst and exalted above the Cherubim and Seraphim (Isa. 6:1-5; Ezek. 1:22-28)! Nevertheless, Catholics believe that Mary is sitting on the right hand of Jesus Christ in the midst of the Cherubims. Similarly, they say that she is “exalted above the Seraphim”. Evidently, they also believe that “the ranks of the heavenly army bow before” Mary! Can you imagine it?
You need to know that bowing is an act of worship in the Bible (Ex. 20:4-5). When John mistakenly bowed before an Angel in Heaven, the Angels protested his actions on two different occasions, saying, “See thou do it not” (Rev. 19:10, 22:8-9). The Angel knew it was forbidden in Heaven to bow before anyone or anything except the Living God! Therefore, the Angel said to John, “Worship God” (Rev. 22:8-9). Hypothetically speaking, if Mary is enthroned in the Holy of Holies as a Queen, and she is receiving this kind of treatment by men and Angels, she is acting in the role of a goddess in Heaven.
The Queen of Heaven on a Throne of Grace
“Let all, therefore, try to approach with greater trust the Throne of Grace and Mercy of our Queen and Mother, and beg for strength in adversity, light in darkness, consolation in sorrow; above all let them strive to free themselves from the slavery of sin and offer an unceasing homage, filled with filial loyalty, to their Queenly Mother.” - Pope Pius XII, Ad Caeli Reginam (48)
The Throne of God in the Old Testament was called the “Mercy Seat” (Ex. 25:17-22, 30:6; Lev. 16:2, 13-15; Num. 7:89). The Throne of Jesus Christ in the New Testament is called “the Throne of Grace” (Heb. 4:16). So why are Catholics calling the Throne of Mary “the Throne of Grace & Mercy of our Queen”? Catholics are then admonished to approach this Throne with “greater trust” to find help as each occasion might require. This is blasphemy! Why? Because faith in God, or trust, is the primary act of worship that the Lord is requiring of all mankind to be saved. Therefore, trusting in Mary to do what only God can do is tantamount to idolatry. Sadly, this misplaced trust is commonplace among Catholics. The eloquent speeches of Saints inspire them to treat Mary like a goddess.
The Glory of Mary Filling Heaven and Earth
“We read, moreover, in the Ethiopic Missal: ‘O Mary, center of the whole world, . . . thou art greater than the many-eyed Cherubim and the six-winged Seraphim . . . Heaven and earth are filled with the sanctity of thy glory.’” - Pope Pius XII, Ad Caeli Reginam (29)
A mere man or woman should never be spoken about in this manner. Not even a redeemed woman in Heaven can possess such greatness! Human beings on earth were made by God to be “a littler lower than Angels” (Ps. 8:5, Heb. 2:7, 9). Then, at the resurrection, redeemed mankind will finally be “equal unto the Angels” (Lk. 20:36). Of course, Scripture never states that redeemed mankind will be “greater” than Angels. Nevertheless, according to Pope Pius XII, Mary’s greatness far exceeds that of Angels, insomuch that “heaven and earth are filled with the sanctity of [her] glory”.
Actually, this is what holy Angels say about God in the Bible. Remember? Isaiah heard the Seraphim crying out in worship before the Throne of God, saying, “Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of Hosts: the whole earth is full of His glory.” (Isa. 6:3). These words rang out in Heaven as the highest form of worship from the holiest of Angels! Meanwhile, the Pope is giving the same praise to the Lady of Roman Catholicism. How is it even possible for heaven and earth to be filled with the glory of Mary? Pope Pius XII is obviously preaching about the glory of a goddess that rivals the glory of the LORD! And people like Saint Louis Marie de Montfort give detailed explanations about how the glory of Mary supposedly fills heaven and earth.

Omnipresence, Omniscience, & Omnipotence?
“For God has made her Queen of Heaven and earth, leader of his armies, keeper of his treasure, dispenser of his graces, mediatrix on behalf of men, destroyer of his enemies, and faithful associate in his great works and triumphs.” –Saint Louis Marie de Montfort, True Devotion to Mary
Mary seems to be present in nearly everything that the LORD is doing! This says a lot about a woman who isn’t Omnipresent like God. How can this Lady be doing all these things? The LORD of Hosts governs heaven and earth by commanding an angelic army of hundreds of millions of Angels all at the same time! This requires Omniscience. The visible movement of these Angels, in coming and going from before the Throne of God, has “the appearance of a flash of lightning” (Ezek. 1:14). The thoroughfare of these fiery Angels creates the appearance of “a fiery stream” before the Throne (Dan. 7:9-10; Ps. 104:4). They all obey the LORD at once with unimaginable speed and power! “Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.” (Ps. 103:20). This is a spectacular show of Omnipotence! Therefore, hypothetically speaking, what could Mary do in this situation? Not much. But Pope Pius XII is still trying to persuade you otherwise.
The Radiant Countenance of the Queen of Creation
“May the powerful Queen of Creation, whose radiant glance banishes storms and tempests and brings back cloudless skies, look upon these her innocent and tormented children with eyes of mercy; may the Virgin, who is able to subdue violence beneath her foot, grant to them that they may soon enjoy the rightful freedom to practice their religion openly…” - Ad Caeli Reginam, Pope Pius XII (50)
Reading things like this makes Catholics forget all about Jesus Christ! Why would Catholics waste time “looking to Jesus” if Mary is more available to unworthy sinners (Heb. 12:2)? Supposedly, a single “glance” from Mary is able to command creation. This is something that only God can do (Matt. 8:23-27, Mk. 5:35-41, Lk. 8:22-25; Ps. 65:7, 89:9, 107:29; Ps. 29:10). Allegedly, a single “look” upon her children on earth is able to change the world. Hypothetically speaking, if such divinity is shining from the light of her countenance, indeed, all men should look to her for physical and spiritual blessings. This is exactly what Saint Therese of Lisieux would have all men do! However, this would require Mary’s gaze to be Omnipresent.
“In trial or difficulty, I have recourse to Mother Mary, whose glance alone is enough to dissipate every fear.” – Saint Therese of Lisieux
“May the Mother of Jesus and our Mother, always smile on your spirit, obtaining for it, from her Most Holy Son, every heavenly blessing.” – Saint Padre Pio
Can the fears of all believers worldwide be dissipated before the face of Mary? Once again, this would require her to be Omnipresent. She cannot smile upon everyone at once! Nevertheless, a billion Catholics are praying to her every day all at the same time. How can she hear and comprehend all these prayers at once? How does she have the power to answer all these prayers simultaneously? This would require Omniscience and Omnipotence. Practically speaking, Catholics really do believe that Mary is godlike. Otherwise, they wouldn’t relate to her in this capacity.
“Let us run to Mary, and, as her little children, cast ourselves into her arms with a perfect confidence.” – St. Francis De Sales
“If you invoke the Blessed Virgin when you are tempted, she will come at once to your help, and Satan will leave you.” – St. John Vianney
How can all these people run to Mary at the same time? This Lady of Catholicism can only be in one place at a time. Nevertheless, Catholics speak of Mary as if she has the “everlasting arms” of God Himself (Deut. 33:27)! Why? She can’t go and help everyone who is praying to her at the same time. Once again, this would require Omnipresence. But many serious Catholics really do feel that Mary is present with them! Otherwise, arguably, they would stop praying to Mary.
“Mary, with you consent you became the Mother of God and torrents of grace poured forth upon the earth. Be with me now as I walk the path you have opened: | When a job or financial stress weighs heavily on my heart, |
Why do Catholics want to be with Mary? This is a sincere question. Speaking to Christians, Jesus Christ said, “lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world” (Matt. 28:20). Which do you prefer, Mary or Jesus Christ? It’s obvious to true Christians that Catholics aren’t spiritually feeling the presence of Jesus Christ in their daily lives. Why would they? They aren’t “looking to Jesus” (Heb. 12:2). Catholicism has everyone praying, “Our Mother”, while true believers go straight to God through Jesus Christ praying, “Our Father” (Matt. 6:7; Rom. 8:14-16). The contrast is staggering to behold.
Sadly, most people don’t even know how to pray! They resort to chants, mantras, and slogans instead of prayer. Our prayers shouldn’t be vain or meaningless repetitions to God. We will not be heard because of how many times we pray any given memorized prayer. For example, the Rosary guides people to say 50 repetitious prayers! And people religiously utter every single prayer on a daily basis. Why? The reasons for this are obvious.
“But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.” – Matt. 6:7
Not a single verse of the Bible can be produced of anyone praying to someone other than God. “Should not a people seek unto their God?” (Isa. 8:19). Spiritually interacting with dead people is both impossible and illegal. It is impossible because Mary can’t hear the prayers of a billion Catholics. She is too busy worshipping Jesus Christ in Heaven! It is illegal because the Bible forbids us from attempting to make contact with the souls of dead people (Lev. 19:31, 20:5-7, Isa. 8:19-20). This is a very serious sin called necromancy. It is a kind of witchcraft (1 Sam. 28:1-25). Committing this sin will make the offender a “necromancer” (Deut. 18:10-11).
Necromancers are people who talk to departed spirits in the afterlife. Feeling that someone is truly present in these circumstances isn’t a good thing! This is when lying signs and wonders are performed (2 Thess. 2:9). Demons frequently manifest themselves as “familiar spirits”, disguising themselves as the spirits of dead family members, and they do this for the purpose of destroying people’s lives (Lev. 19:31, 20:6, Deut. 18:11). Beware! This is dangerous territory. Satan will give you what you want as you actively disobey God and violate Holy Scripture (Matt. 4:9).

The Name of Mary
“Men do not fear a powerful hostile army as the powers of hell fear the name and protection of Mary.” – St. Bonaventure
“In dangers, in doubts, in difficulties, think of Mary, call upon Mary. Let not her name depart from your lips, never suffer it to leave your heart. And that you may obtain the assistance of her prayer, neglect not to walk in her footsteps. With her for guide, you shall never go astray; while invoking her, you shall never lose heart; so long as she is in your mind, you are safe from deception; while she holds your hand, you cannot fall; under her protection you have nothing to fear; if she walks before you, you shall not grow weary; if she shows you favor, you shall reach the goal.” - Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, Father and Doctor of the Church
Saint Bernard of Clairvaux has deceived many Catholics through the eloquent words of empty promises, saying, “Let not her name depart from your lips, never suffer it to leave your heart.”. I sincerely wonder if this man has ever read the Bible! Speaking about the Name of Jesus Christ, the Apostle Peter said, “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other Name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12). Thus says the first Pope of Roman Catholicism? I wonder why they don’t listen to him. The prayers that are prayed in the Name of Jesus Christ are sure to be answered (Jn. 14:13-14, 15:16, 16:23-24). It is the Name of Jesus Christ that strikes fear in the demons of hell (Php. 2:10, Lk. 8:28)! As for this Lady, well, the glorification of Mary as a goddess is a dangerous deception. How can Mary be with me? Jesus Christ said, “Abide in Me, and I in you.” (Jn. 15:4). Hence, we are supposed to “follow His steps” (1 Pet. 2:21, 1 Jn. 2:6).
Mary the Mediatrix
"The Immaculate Virgin becomes the sublime icon of Divine Mercy that conquered sin. To her I entrust the Church and all humanity, especially the city of Rome." – Pope Francis
Roman Catholicism is overcome with a feverish attraction to Mary. Famous voices speak great swelling words on her behalf. Their zeal is contagious! Their speech is enticing! Things don’t appear to be cold, dead, and dry among those devoted to Mary. Her apparitions are bewitching! And the associated doctrines of Mary are a mixture of Latin words and biblical terms with curious definitions. This is how Mary became the Mediatrix! Men like Pope Pius XII are presenting to the world a Lady of dreamlike beauty and wonder. Speaking of her, Pius said, “She is so beautiful and perfect, and possesses such fullness of innocence and holiness, that under God a greater could not be dreamed, and only God can comprehend the marvel” (Ad Caeli Reginam, 41). Should not the eyes of the Bride look to the Bridegroom? Such things provoke the jealousy of a holy God.
“It is God’s will that nothing be bestowed on us except through Mary; so that, as nobody can reach the supreme Father except through the Son, so that almost nobody can approach Christ except through Mary.” – Pope Leo XIII
“All graces given by God pass through the Blessed Mother.” – Saint Padre Pio
“Jesus honored her before all ages, and will honor her for all ages. No one comes to Him, nor even near Him, no one is saved or sanctified, if he too will not honor her. This is the lot of Angels and of men.” – Saint Maximilian Kolbe
“The Son of God became man for our salvation but only in Mary and through Mary.” – Saint Louis de Montfort
The words and deeds of Catholics speak for themselves. The voice of Roman Catholicism presents Mary to the world as the one and only Mediatrix of the Mediator. In order to get to Jesus Christ, the Mediator, you have to go through Mary, the Mediatrix. Mary isn’t a way to Christ. Mary is the only way to Christ! Mary is essentially standing in front of Jesus Christ. Literally, you can’t look to Jesus Christ, unless you look to Mary. You can’t go to Jesus Christ, unless you go through Mary. If you ignore the Mediatrix then you aren’t even a real Christian.
“A man is no true Christian if he has no devotion to the Mother of Jesus Christ.” – Saint John Eudes
“What hope can we have of salvation, if Thou dost abandon us, O Mary, who art the life of Christians?” – Saint Germanus
“As mariners are guided into port by the shining of a star, so Christians are guided to Heaven by Mary.” – Saint Thomas Aguinas
Making Mary a goddess is blasphemy. Relating to Mary on a practical level as if she is omnipresent, omniscient, and omnipotent is blasphemy. Eclipsing Jesus Christ with the presence of Mary is the height of blasphemy! Eclipsing the Mediator with the Mediatrix is a demonic deception! It is not the voice of pious men that we hear glorifying Mary in this way. Forcing men to come to Mary is strange and idolatrous. Forbidding men from coming straight to Jesus Christ is oppression and condemnation.
“For there is one God, and one Mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.” – 1 Tim. 2:5-6
You don’t need a Mediatrix and a Mediator. You don’t need a Lady and a Man! There is only one Mediator between God and men. Don’t let all the trickery of words turn you away from Jesus Christ! The doctrines of Roman Catholicism are clearly violating Holy Scripture in the Bible. The Saints of Roman Catholicism want you to go to Mary as your Mediatrix because, supposedly, she will go to Jesus Christ on your behalf and she always “obtains what she seeks, and cannot be refused” (Ad Caeli Reginam, Pope Pius XII, 42). This too is contrary to Scripture. Mary was refused in Matthew 12:46-50. Read it for yourself!
“While [Jesus] yet talked to the people, behold, his Mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him. Then one said unto him, Behold, thy Mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee. But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren? And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.” – Matt. 12:46-50
Mary was put in her place on this day in history! All men should look back and take note. Jesus Christ did not suffer her interruption. Nor did He allow Mary to be exalted above other women who were repenting and believing in Jesus Christ. While Jesus Christ was publicly reducing the status of Mary in this historical situation, Roman Catholicism has been exalting Mary by inserting her presence into almost every part of the Gospel.
“Together they [Christ and Mary] accomplished the task of man’s redemption…both offered up one and the same sacrifice to God; she in the blood of her heart, he in the blood of the flesh…so that, together with Christ, she obtained a common effect in the salvation of the world.” – Abbot Arnold of Chartres (1144-56)
Do you believe in “the blood” of Mary? Noble clergymen are telling you that there is power in “the grace which she merited” (Pope Pius XII, Ad Caeli Reginam, 36). Roman Catholicism continually exaggerates and embellishes Mary’s role in the work of Jesus Christ. Councils, Officials, and Catechisms all teach that Mary was “the cause of salvation” (CCC, 494). They say that she acted in the role of a Priest “in a sense” when she “offered Christ’s sacrifice to God the Father as far as she was permitted to do” (Pope Benedict XV). Mysteriously, Mary was also spiritually united with Christ in His suffering and death on the Cross, “and so entirely participating in His Passion” (Pope Pious X), it was “almost as if she would have died herself” (Pope Benedict XV). All this and more is believed about Mary, “so that it can truly be said, that along with Christ she redeemed the human race” (Benedict XV). This is a false gospel.
“For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.” – 2 Cor. 11:4
These perversions of the Gospel cannot be allowed to go uncontested. Protestants still have something to protest! The work of the Reformers isn’t done. Even though a billion Catholics believe in these things, “though hand join in hand” (Prov. 16:5), they shall not go unpunished. Sadly, more and more apparitions of this Lady will appear. Signs, wonders, and miracles will continue to be done in the Name of Mary. Things are only going to get worse because we are living in the Last Days. All these things have been foretold in Holy Scripture.
“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.” – 2 Tim 4:3-4
“But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.” - Gal. 1:8
Are you a Catholic? Now is the time for you to start questioning everything you have ever learned about God in Roman Catholicism. Now is the time for you to put your trust in the Lord by reading the Bible for yourself! Only then will you realize the grace and glory that exclusively belongs to Jesus Christ according to the Gospel of the New Testament.
The Word of God will lead you into a personal encounter with Jesus Christ. The blood of Jesus Christ is sufficient and efficacious for your reconciliation to God. “For whosoever shall call upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Rom. 10:13). So, why call upon Mary? Renounce this imposter! Jesus Christ welcomes all those who truly come to Him by faith in the Gospel. Speaking of this, the Lord said, “All that the Father giveth Me shall come to Me; and him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out.” (John 6:37). So, why go to Mary when you can come directly to Jesus Christ? And Jesus Christ will bring you to the Father.
The promises of God are sure, steadfast, and unbreakable. Jesus Christ said, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me.” (John 14:6). There is no other way to the Father. There is no other way to Heaven. Mary can’t bring you to the Father. Mary didn’t die for your sins! Only Jesus Christ can bring you to Heaven. Look to Jesus! Every look to Mary as a Mediatrix is an offence to Jesus Christ! Because every look to Mary is a look away from Jesus Christ. The holy office of a Mediator can only be filled by one Person. Therefore, repent, and believe in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and you will be saved.
