Nope....Leo said no one comes to Christ except through Mary. You can spin this blasphemy all you want but it is what he said. It is official teaching of the Catholic Church. Sorry you don’t like it

I was referring to whether devotion to Mary is necessary for salvation. No, it is not.

On the other hand:

DOES anyone come to Jesus except through Mary?

The Incarnation came about only AFTER Mary had been asked for her consent, and had given it. The flesh of the incarnate Word came from Mary.

In that sense, no one DOES come to Jesus except through Mary.

If you consider that blasphemy, complain to St. Luke.

I’ll tell you one thing. More Christians worldwide share the same beliefs for the Virgin Mary than your non-beliefs in the Mother of God. You lose. Get over the bitterness.
