What do I care when you have no respect for the scripture?

I respect Holy Scripture. And what you have printed out and what I have printed out both explain, to me anyway, that Mary brings people to Jesus. Why do you think so many Catholics credit Mary for their return to the faith, their deepening of the faith, their love of the faith? Because she leads them to her Son.

And while there might be a quote or two I've listed that is not a perfect match to what was said by the saint, I've read enough about the saints, that I believe them to be for the most part accurate. And even though the words of saints are not infallible, when enough of them say the same thing, there's reason to listen up.

Of course, the rest is just my own history of suffering ill health, being led to His Cross [and daily Eucharist]; severe vertigo, deafness, tinnitus, and everything else to do with inner ear maladies. I've been dis-eased since 1990, and it's Mary's beads that help get me through day by day..........because Jesus can't refuse the sweet prayers of His mother.

Or to the false son that Satan provided.

“I respect Holy Scripture.”

In that case, why do you claim that Mary is sinless, when I showed you scripture which said that no one is sinless? And why do you claim that Mary brings people to Jesus, as if faith in her is necessary, when I showed you it was the Holy Spirit who brings us to Jesus? Why are you asserting things that are not in the scripture at all?

“And what you have printed out and what I have printed out both explain, to me anyway, that Mary brings people to Jesus.”

Sure, considering you based it on nothing to begin with, it makes sense that you would base it out of nothing x nothing.

“Why do you think so many Catholics credit Mary for their return to the faith, their deepening of the faith, their love of the faith?”

Because they are idolaters with feeble ideas about religion, and because they believe they will get into heaven based on their own righteousness and devotion in a human woman who is not omnipresent or omniscient, and therefore cannot hear their vain cries?

Certainly, if you think that Mary will save you, go ahead. I pity you greatly, but go ahead.
