[Cathy32450]

I received some instruction in Catholicism as a child, and I think the idea is to communicate with God through a more human intermediary. Where does the Bible state that Jesus is the only intermediary? Usually when I hear a Christian making that argument, they either can’t refer to a specific passage, or the passage is very vague. And bear in mind that God did NOT write the Bible; human witnesses wrote it, edited it to suit their prejudices, and translated it badly.

I’ve also heard that the focus on Mary is a tradition going back to goddess worship in Rome before mainstream acceptance of Christianity. Also, as a woman, I am offended by your referring to Mary as a ‘vessel.’ I hope that is not the way you view your own body. Finally, if you believe that Mary’s influence is overestimated because she is human, how could you possibly use your own human judgment to speak for God when you call yourself ‘Redeemed One’?
