Pope Francis says Jesus is not our hope,
Mary and the Mother Church are
“The
children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead
their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink
offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.” Jeremiah 7:18
Even though they
lie and say that they are only “venerating” her, the Roman Catholic Church has since the middle 1800’s worshipped
Mary from the New Testament. They create idols of her, call her the Queen of
Heaven, ascribe all sorts of miracles to her statues and bow down to her in worship.
As someone who was raised in the Catholic Church and trained by Jesuits, I can testify
that this 100% true. But Pope Francis this past weekend took Mary worship, a
sin, to staggering new heights.
Pope Francis,
speaking to mark the occasion of the Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows in Casa Santa
Marta, said the following: “And this
is our hope. We are not orphans, we have Mothers: Mother Mary. But the Church
is Mother and the Mother Church is anointed when it takes the same path of
Jesus and Mary: the path of obedience, the path of suffering, and when she has
that attitude of continually learning the path of the Lord. These two women –
Mary and the Church – carry on the hope that is Christ, they give us Christ,
they bring forth Christ in us. Without Mary, there would be no Jesus Christ;
without the Church, we cannot go forward“. Source Vatican.va
Jesus has been
demoted to third place behind ‘mother’ Mary and the ‘Holy Mother Church’, the
Roman Catholic Church.
The bible says, however that the “blessed hope” of the Christian is “the great God and our Saviour Jesus
Christ.” Scripture never mentions Mary one time as being the hope of anyone
or anything.
But if you’re a Catholic Francis says that “ today we can go forward with a hope: the hope that our Mother Mary, steadfast at the Cross, and our Holy Mother, the hierarchical Church, give us.“
But if you’re a Catholic Francis says that “ today we can go forward with a hope: the hope that our Mother Mary, steadfast at the Cross, and our Holy Mother, the hierarchical Church, give us.“
The position and
title that Pope Francis has bestowed on Mary is, by his own words, equal or
greater than that of the 2nd part of the Trinity, Jesus Christ. And though he
has yet to use the words, he has effectually already placed her status firmly
at the Godhead level.
Interesting thing, in the book of Revelation and speaking of the Roman Catholic
Church, the apostle John writes this about that ‘holy mother church’:
“And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with
gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of
abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead was a
name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS
OF THE EARTH. And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and
with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with
great admiration.” Revelation 17:4-6
And that’s what God thinks of the “holy Roman
Mother Church”.
Mary did not stay as a virgin, she had a bunch of
children with Joseph:
“And when the sabbath day
was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were
astonished, saying, From whence hath this man these things? and what wisdom is
this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his
hands? Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and
Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they
were offended at him.” Mark 6:2,3
Here are some
prayers that are made to Mary by Catholics.
Prayer to Our Lady, Mother of Mercy
Blessed Virgin Mary, who can worthily repay you with praise and thanks
for having rescued a fallen world by your generous consent! Receive our gratitude, and by your
prayers obtain the pardon of our sins. Take our prayers into
the sanctuary of heaven and enable them to make our peace with God.
Holy Mary, help the miserable, strengthen the
discouraged, comfort the sorrowful, pray for your people, plead for the clergy,
intercede for all women consecrated to God. May all who venerate you feel now
your help and protection. Be ready to help us when we pray, and bring back to
us the answers to our prayers. Make it your continual concern to pray for the
people of God, for you were blessed by God and were made worthy to bear the
Redeemer of the world, who lives and reigns forever. Amen. Saint Augustine of Hippo
In that prayer,
the Catholics credit our Salvation to Mary saying it is by her consent
that the world was saved. Their prayers are to Mary and by so, they hope to
obtain pardon for sins. They ask Mary to ‘take’ their prayers in the Sanctuary
of God.
Joh_14:6 “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the
truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”
Joh_14:13 “And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name,
that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.”
Clearly, the
position of Christ on salvation and prayers is stated. We must go to the Father
through Christ and if we need anything we should ask the Father through Christ.
But in Catholicism,
Mary has replaced Christ forgetting that Mary is asleep like other saints
awaiting the second coming of Christ.
