Any human or angelic being standing as intercessor, lawyer or priest between mankind and Father had better be Christ himself, or they are instead of Christ. Instead of Christ, is a much better translation of anti-Christ. He who stands in Christs place, in his stead. Whether it be Mary, or one of the Saints declared by man, it is blasphemy. That goes for the so called fathers of certain churches also. The ONLY person you need between your heart and deeds and God the Father to receive forgiveness is Christ and his sacrifice.
It seems that on every church grounds these statues abound, despite the written word not to have them.
Drove past here a few years ago. Meant to stop. Very beautiful.
And to paraphrase Rich Mullins: Perhaps the problem isn’t that we revere Mary too much, but that we revere each other too little.
Science will NEVER prove the existence of god or jesus as the son of god. Any christian citing scientific study in an attempt to add legitimacy to their religion is faithless.
Anyone who believes in a single miracle loses all right to reject the first eleven chapters of Genesis in the name of "science." How Catholics must despise traditional rural Americans to maintain this hypocritical and inconsistent position.
Thank you for this interesting post. And it is good to see you posting again.
How utterly ridiculous...
Yeah, Brian Williams was there the day that the Nazareth remax agent closed the deal with the angels.....
Welcome Back!
LOL!
That’s one hell of a house for a 14 year old girl.
Thank you for the article! I always wondered how the home of the Annunciation ended up in Italy.
Within those Holy walls, Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
came down from heaven.
Within those Holy walls, Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
was enfleshed in the womb of the most Blessed Virgin Mary.
Within those Holy walls, Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
began his dwelling amongst us!
Praised be Jesus Christ forever!
“Science Confirms: Angels Took the House of Our Lady of Nazareth to Loreto”
Science confirms global warming is caused by human beings, too. Doesn’t make it so.

St Louis de Montfort:
7. The saints have said wonderful things of Mary, the holy City of God, and, as they themselves admit, they were never more eloquent and more pleased than when they spoke of her. And yet they maintain that the height of her merits rising up to the throne of the Godhead cannot be perceived; the breadth of her love which is wider than the earth cannot be measured; the greatness of the power which she wields over one who is God cannot be conceived; and the depths of her profound humility and all her virtues and graces cannot be sounded. What incomprehensible height! What indescribable breadth! What immeasurable greatness! What an impenetrable abyss!
Only problem I have with this is that I don’t see science proving anything.
Uh huh...
I am already a believer and these things just add greater depth to my belief, faith and understanding.
I especially love the opposing voices, both to make me think and to verify its authenticity.
I've come to accept how those voices have to appear and attack miraculous things now, in these times, just the same as they did when He walked as a man.
