According to Eadmer (A.D. 1060–1124), an English monk and student of Anselm, “sometimes salvation is quicker if we remember Mary's name then if we invoked the name of the Lord Jesus...[who] does not at once, answer anyone who invokes him, but only does so after just judgment. But if the name of his mother Mary is invoked, her merits intercede so that he is answered even if the merits of him who invoked her do not deserve it.” Through her “the elements are renewed, the netherworld is healed, the demons are trodden underfoot, men are saved and angels are restored.” — Andrew Taylor, “Three medieval manuscripts and their readers,” University of Pennsylvania press; page 173
Who is Eadmer.....from New Advent.http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/05224a.htm
Precentor of Canterbury and historian, born 1064 (?); died 1124 (?). Brought up at Christ Church ab infantiâ, he became after St. Anselm's consecration, in 1079, his intimate companion. After Anselm's death his chief occupation was writing. He had made notes of the saint's doings and discourses and of the affairs in which he had been engaged, and from these he compiled his chief works, the "Historia Novorum" and the Vita S. Anselmi" (ed. M. Rule, 1884, in Rolls Series). Eadmer's "Opuscula" comprise verses of Sts. Dunstan and Edward, the lives of Sts. Wilfrid, Odo, Dunstan, Oswald, Bregwin (printed in Wharton, Anglia Sancta). Of his theological works the most noteworthy is the "De conceptione Sanctae Mariae", a tract of much importance for the development of the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception (see Thurston's ed., Freiburg, 1904, and "The Month", July and August, 1904, for the discussion of the date of his death). In 1121 he was elected to the See of St. Andrews, but by refusing to be ordained except by the Archbishop of York, he put an insuperable bar to his own promotion.
Read it for yourself. Catholics are so naïve on what their "church" really teaches about Mary.
You can repost and repost all those links....it doesn’t change one thing about the narrative of this thread.
Say what?
Thank you for your narrative.
I don’t support muslims.
Nor do I support Jews, Protestants, pagans, atheists or last and least: apostates from the Catholic faith.
.
Truth cannot be heresy.
And I am quite familiar with the word of God; that is why I said that Mother of God is a false and pagan title, just as Queen of Heaven is.
God has no mother, and there is not nor ever will be any “female” presence in the realm of God. “Female” is biological, and only the spiritual will ever enter the realm of God.
Yeshua made this fact clear in his conversation with Nicodemus, recorded in John 3.

.
What
.
Mary was the mother of a human boy, but not of his spirit!
It is his eternal spirit that is God.
.
It’s simply an assertion that Satan can’t do this. Why couldn’t he? What would stop him from staging a possession and exorcism if it suited his purpose?
In the last days people will marvel at miracles performed by the beast and say “who is like the beast and who can make war against him.”
.
>> “One would think that if this were Mary, she would say the church was for her Son.” <<
.
But we know from the word of God that Mary cannot come to anybody; she sleeps.
The “Mary” spirit is clearly Satan or one of his demons. That is why he wanted the church built for himself; Satan has always been envious of worship.
.
I pay no mind to anybody who refers to God as just “a human boy”.
.
God is purely spirit.
As Yeshua said “no man hath seen the Father.”
.
It is no surprise that not having a Scriptural case for all the various Mary as Demigoddess accretions, the article must plow ground elsewhere...
.
Just read the verse you posted until it sinks in!
.
Then why in both the Old and New Testaments was the Savior described as the Son of Man? Jesus even referred to Himself as the Son of Man.
A lot of this language credited to Mary sounds similar to the speech of the Islamofascists.
Do you reject the Apostles’ Creed?
It appears you do.
In what way?
GeronL - Mary is not a deity. Period
verga - This is exactly what Catholics have been saying since I joined FR over 9 years ago. I am thrilled that one of you finally understands that.
How strange that Catholics say she’s not a goddess yet they treat her as one and freak out when “blasphemers” dare not give her the due praise.
The why do refer to God as just "a human boy"?
