You're disagreement is with a Roman Catholic priest.

Your misunderstanding is of a Catholic priest's writings.

Well, yes I can based on what O'Brien has written.

You can't based on misunderstandings of what he has written.

has explained it pretty clearly

Yet, you misunderstand.

Yes....Roman Catholics are keeping Him on the Cross as O'Brien notes He is brought down from Heaven by the priest at every Mass.

No they don't. But if you truly believe so, then you must believe Protestants keep Him on the cross because they also believe in His real presence in the Eucharist. But you can't seem to bring yourself to admit it.

Not as defined by Roman Catholicism

How about as defined by Protestants: the Eucharist is "the true body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ”?

You're a lay RC. You only have opinions.

If I have only opinions that doesn't leave you with much as far as teaching Catholic belief.

For instance, you aren't aware Roman Catholic writers have called Mary omnipotent.

Which is false. We've already discussed this. Now you're just reduced to repetition. Instead of rehashing this, go read the earlier posts.

Most Roman Catholics aren't as they've not bothered to research what their denomination teaches.

They've apparently done more research than have you, as every Catholic I know is a magnitude more knowledgeable about Catholic doctrine than are you. You claim Catholics believe something and then argue against your false claim. It's pretty humorous.

In the Glories of Mary the following is recorded: 'At the command of Mary all obey, even God'. Saint Bernadine fears not to utter this sentence, meaning indeed, to say that God grants the prayers of Mary as if they were commands. And hence Saint Anselm, addressing Mary, says, 'Our Lord, O most holy Virgin, has exalted thee to such a degree, that, by His favor, all things that are possible to Him should be possible to thee. For thy protection is omnipotent, O Mary, says Cosmas of Jerusalem. 'Yes, Mary is omnipotent,' repeats Richard of Saint Lawrence; 'for the Queen, by every law, enjoys the same privileges as the King.' 'And as,' he adds, 'the power of the Son and that of the Mother is the same, a Mother is made omnipotent by an omnipotent Son. 'And thus,' says Saint Antoninus, 'God has placed the whole Church, not only under the patronage, but even under the dominion of Mary.'....But that she is so, is evident from the fact, that whatever the Mother asks for, the Son never denies her; and this was revealed to Saint Bridget, who one day heard Jesus talking with Mary, and thus address her: 'Ask of me what thou wilt, for no petition of thine can be void.'

St Alphonsus de'Liguori, The Glories of Mary, p146
