Wouldn’t it stand to reason He doesn’t need Mary and those so called saints?

Jesus loves his mother and the saints!

St. Gemma Galgani, of modern times, one day was interceding with Our Lord for the soul of a certain sinner. As Gemma pleaded for mercy, the Savior recounted one by one the person's frightful and abnormal sins. After the Savior had refused three times, St. Gemma Galgani said: "Then I shall ask Your Mother." Our Lord answered: "In that case, I cannot refuse." An hour later the sinner in question came to the confessor of the saint and made his full confession. -Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, "The World's First Love: Mary, Mother of God"

That was one more example of the fairy tails that compromise the beliefs of Catholics. I'm amazed that any adult would fall for stories like that. Just one lie in that story is that the accuser is Christ. He is NOT.

Revelation 12:10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.

2 Corinthians 11:14-15 And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds.

Apparitions are the enemy.

First off, nobody dickers for another's soul with Jesus. They come to Him themselves and he would NEVER refuse anyone who came to Him.

Second, it's all fairy tales that Jesus cannot refuse a request from His mother. We are not to pray to dead people anyway. We have never been instructed to pray to anyone but God.

Whoever this person was conversing with. It wasn't Jesus.

The audience should have thrown eggs and rotten tomatoes at Sheen...
