Mary Quite Contrary
[Mary Quite
Contrary Proclaiming the Gospel Ministries]
"Roman Catholicism continues to pervert the true Mary of Scripture in ways that
defy the imagination. The Catholic Mary, as described in the 1994 edition of the
Catechism of the Catholic Church, is a satanic diversion that leads Catholics
away from a pure devotion to the Lord Jesus Christ (2
Cor. 11:3). Rome attributes to Mary many of the
divine attributes that are unique to the Lord Jesus. The end result is a
counterfeit version of Mary whom Catholics venerate and trust as the channel of
all grace. Rome says both Jesus and Mary were immaculately conceived, born
without sin, lived sinless lives and now intercede as our advocates. Jesus
ascended into heaven, the Catholic Mary was bodily assumed into heaven; Jesus is
the second Adam, Mary is the second Eve; Jesus is the King of kings, Mary is the
Queen of heaven and earth; Jesus is the mediator, Mary is the co-mediatrix and
Jesus is the redeemer, Mary is the co-redeemer.
Catholics have also declared that it is Mary, not Jesus, that crushes the head
of Satan, the serpent. This blasphemous error originated from the mistranslation
of
Genesis 3:15 from
Jerome's Latin Vulgate to the Douay-Rheims English translation. The lie
continues today when Catholics celebrate the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe.
Catholics are commanded, under the penalty of sin, to accept these myths about
Mary as divine truth.
Now according to Carl Anderson, the head of the Knights of Columbus, Mary is the
best evangelist. "She is the evangelist par excellence, in part because she
enters the world...from the beatific vision, a state of supreme closeness to
God," he said Dec. 10 at the Ecclesia in America Conference in Rome. "Her
example and continued motherhood of all peoples is a sure path today for the new
evangelization."

Archbishop Gomez of Los Angeles is calling for Catholics to "turn to Mary in a
new way." He described Advent (a season historically observed as a time of
preparing for the coming of Jesus) as "a season of Mary." He recommended that
Catholics try to set aside time every day to think about the Virgin Mary or to
look at a picture of her. "Talk to her as her child. Tell her everything that's
on your mind."
