Pope Celebrates Bodily Assumption of Mary
[Pope
Celebrates Bodily Assumption of Mary
Proclaiming the Gospel Ministries]
"Pope Francis began his homily with
these words, "In union with the
whole Church, we celebrate the
Assumption of Our Lady, body and
soul, into the glory of heaven.
Mary's Assumption shows us our own
destiny as God's adoptive children
and members of the body of Christ."
He referred to the great sign" of a
woman clothed in the sun and crowned
by 12 stars in Rev 12:1 as Mary
enthroned in glory beside her divine
Son.

[Mike Gendron Comment] This
misinterpretation of Revelation 12
is consistent with many other
misinterpretations of Scripture by
the RCC. The woman referred to in
Rev. 12:1 cannot be Mary because she
was never persecuted, never fled
into the wilderness and was never
cared for and protected for 1260
days. That description does fit the
nation of Israel and the 12 stars
would represent her 12 tribes. The
Apostle John's use of the term
"woman" for Israel is consistent
with its frequent reference to
Israel in the Old Testament." Pro-Gospel.org

No Mary Worship
Response to comment [from an atheist]: "As far as the worship of Mary as a goddess goes, The Catholic Church actually condemend such practice around the 4th century (Collyridianism)."

Traditions by Mike Gendron]
""You nullify the Word of God by
your traditions that you have handed
down" (Mark 7:13)
Over the years many traditions have
crept into the Roman Catholic
Church, nullifying the Word of God
and His saving grace. The following
list shows a steady departure over
the years from the pure Gospel of
salvation. Each tradition goes
directly against the truth of
Scripture. Roman Catholics are
required to believe all the
doctrines of their church.
