Muslims know more about Mary than protestants and hold her in very high esteem. Now read that again. The despised Muslims know more about Mary and her role in salvation than protestants, who mock her every chance they get. Now that’s saying a mouthful, but it’s fact. The primary reason protestants have no use for Mary is because Catholics hold her in such high esteem. And nothing a Catholic does can possibly be right.

True that. I am not arguing with them, but they keep coming. I will continue to hold Mary in my heart and know that she holds me in hers. It’s good enough. We know what we know. Just thankful that I am a Catholic.

Think about what you said for a moment. The Moslems, who are catastrophically wrong about nearly everything, share your view on the topic. Not exactly the best endorsement. And nothing wrong with holding Mary in high esteem, I just don’t see her as a deity I can or should go through.

And the greatest mockery I see of Mary is when Catholics see her in tree stumps, caves, tortillas, and pancakes.

This incredibly bigoted statement says all any non-Catholic Christian needs to know about you.

That's not surprising. The Catholic Church has declared that Muslims and Catholics serve the same god.

I hold Mary in esteem just as I do Moses, Isaiah, David, John, Paul, Peter, etc.—based on Scripture. God did use these people. Yet none of them could “once for all enter into the holy of holies” and secure redemption. You have invented a substitute, an add-on to the FINISHED work of Christ Jesus and as such are in danger of apostle Paul’s anathema (never mind toothless Trent’s).

Repent, change your mind and do the only work God demands: BELIEVE in the one he has sent.
