At the risk of being completely ignored, because every single time I ask a Catholic to cite the chapter and verse to support these position all I hear is ..............crickets.
WHERE, pray tell, is it cited in the Bible that you go through Mary to get to God??? Why can’t any of you support your positions or just come out with it once and for all, that you do NOT BELIEVE IN THE INHERENT TRUTH OF THE BIBLE??
There is no direct verse for that, but that is the teaching of the Holy Church. It is not dogmatic, just an opinion prevalent in Catholicism We realize that perhaps, in some exceptional circumstance one is saved without forming a strong relationship with Mary prior to coming to Christ.
If you meant to imply that since there is no verse like that in the Scripture, then it is not so, remember that the Holy Scripture is not the complete Rule of Faith. There are things the Holy Church receives from God even in our days and teaches. That is because the church, not the Scripture is the complete rule of faith. If you are of a different opinion, tell me where the Holy Scripture teaches that it is the complete rule of faith.
I will be happy to answer your questions further. I am sorry if other Catholics neglected to respond.
