Again, where did the Apostles teach about the Trinity?
I am fine with what you say. I do think that it makes a beautiful Scriptural-based prayer though. Whenever I say the Hail Mary prayer, it reminds me of the great Salvation Plan of God that we are so blessed with. It reminds me of the old Eve, who sinned and the New Eve, who was obedient. What a fantastic God we have!
We have far more older Greek texts available to us today than at the time the Vulgate was written. The experts who do the textual criticism note this.
I have read this precise claim from Protestants right here on FR. I.e., that Catholics worship Mary as a goddess.
So children listening to Christ when He was on earth gives Catholics the right to make up stories?

Straw man.
Who are the “experts” and how can they be relied on?
You can have your sins forgiven and be Full of Grace.
Stephen was named first of the deacons by the Apostles by praying and placing their hands upon him. I would say if he any sins on his soul they where cleansed at that time.
Are you really saying this about the all-powerful God?
Unbelievable.

Catholics themselves will explain that this is false. Go to the Vatican website and you will find that what other FReepers may have claimed is not true. In fact, the Church teaches against such foolishness.
Mary knew Jesus was the son of God and knew he was the Savoir of the world.
Catholics should be Christians, not Martians.
While I don’t doubt that for a second, that is not what the Scripture passage says.
One more thing before I have to get back to my work:
The Catholic Church(along with the Orthodox, and the Protestant Reformers, including Calvinist, Max Thurian) believe that Mary is all-holy and free from sin, even from the first moment of her existence...from her conception.
Something to think about...
May our God bless you richly. ;-)
I don't suppose support from scripture would be important to you?
We are. Is that news to you?

I going to take a nap!
Nope, I’m saying that you can believe anything ... no matter what evidence there is or is not in the Bible. And that is truly scary.
“Jesus does. She hears our prayers and passes them on to her son.”
How can such a lie escape demonic energizing?
It cannot. Satan loves dead religion that coyly introduces a substitute—ANY substitute—for “the truth as it is in Jesus”. You need to get scared, lady, as you actively promote such a substitute. Mama Roma, with her boys wrapped around her finger, is a fictitious character of your own devising. Jesus never endorsed attention being given to Mary, but instead flatly diverted it. Why? Because HE is the Way and every other way is not the way!
“But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a Gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed.”
