  • In this video, I share my personal journey of discovering the importance of Mary, the Mother of God, in my faith. Growing up Catholic but disconnected from my faith, I initially struggled to understand Mary’s role and significance. After encountering doubts during my time in a Protestant church, I began seeking answers through prayer, study, and personal experiences.
    God called me to know Mary more deeply and praying the rosary daily transformed my spiritual life. Through these experiences, I came to understand Mary as a spiritual mother who leads us closer to Jesus her son. This video is the beginning of a series where I’ll explore Marian dogmas and theology in more depth. For now, I hope my story encourages those who may also struggle to embrace Mary’s importance in their faith.

    I am ex-Muslim. I became a Christian a few months ago. (I am 33 years old). This is very special. I feel like I have a spiritual family now. I am not afraid of God. I can pray all my prayers peacefully. I used to fight a lot with my mother, one day I asked the Virgin Mary to fix our relationship and since then our house is more peaceful. Moreover, Mary is a holy name for Muslims. All the Marys I have known were very gentle and understanding. It must be the grace of the Virgin Mary, she is remembered with love all over the world, I hope Protestants will also realize her holiness.

      I teach very young children and one told me that he was having terrible dreams about demons and I said that you have to pray. He thought about that. Then he said how do I do that. I said think of the most beautiful picture that you can think of like a sunrise or a waterfall and just focus on the beautiful picture and if the bad idea comes back again, tell it no scary monster, go away. He hasn't mentioned it again and he seems genuinely happy.

    When I was teaching Catholic Apologetics classes in Las Vegas, I received a phone call one day. It was someone who said, “The lady in my office said you could answer my question about the Catholic Church.” I said, “well, what church do you go to?” She answered, “I go to ICLV!” I asked, “What and where is that?” She replied, ‘You never heard of ICLV? International Church of Las Vegas? We have 3,000 members at our Church!” I answered, “No, I have not heard of it.”
    I asked, “So what is your question?”
    She said, “Why do you Catholics believe Mary was without Sin when the Bible says, “All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God” in Romans 3:23?
    I asked her, “Do you know the Bible well?” “Yes - I grew up Baptist.” “Good,” I said.
    “Let me ask you - what was in the Ark of the Covenant in the Old Testament?”
    “Three things,” she answered. “The Ten Commandments, the Manna from Heaven and the Shepherds Staff from Aaron, the brother of Moses.” I replied, “Wow, you do know the Bible - good for you! And Yes, you are correct, that in the Ark of the Covenant were three things - the Ten Commandments - some scholars call it with Word of God since God did write it with his finger into the rock tablets. Would you agree to that?” “Yes, you could call it the Word of God” Then the “Manna from Heaven is also called the “Bread from Heaven,” Right?” “Right,” she answered. “And the Shepherds staff - from Aaron who was the High Priest of the Levites - symbolized the High Priesthood - Right?” “Right,” she said. “So, who is the Word of God, the Bread from Heaven and the High Priest” “Why Jesus!” she answered. “Yes, Jesus was indeed in that Ark of the Covenant - because He was there before Abraham as we learned in John’s Gospel, and all things were created through Him and for Him as we learned in Colossians 1:16. Now, let’s go to 2 Samuel 6:1-7, where Uzzah was carrying the Ark with David dancing up ahead as they brought the Ark to Jerusalem. But the oxen stumbled, and Uzzah put his hand on it to steady it - and what happened to Uzzah?”
    “He died,” she said. “Correct - but Why did he die” “I’ll have to think about that”
    ”He died because nothing unclean could touch that Ark. Leviticus tells us that and so Uzzah had sin on his soul and touched the Ark and died.” “ That sounds right,” she said.
    “Let’s go about 600 to 800 years forward to a young girl named Mary who is told she is going to carry that same “Word of God” that same “Bread from Heaven” and that same, “High Priest” - Jesus!
    How in the world could she have sin on her soul? Would she have died just as Uzzah did?
    “I never thought of that” “Thank you - my name is Telia.
    I got a call about an hour later - from Telia again. She said, “What is this all about Purgatory?” I said, “Why don’t you just come to my class at Our Lady of Las Vegas at 7 pm on Wednesday?” She said she would. She was African American, spoke five languages fluently, and graduated from the top 10% of her class at Harvard Law School. Today she is Catholic. I wrote a book called I Am by Francesco Vilardo it is on Amazon give it a read it shows us why the west is democratic and free and it has everything to do with Christ and his teachings

      @@białoczerwony4669 There's no mention of Mary being a co-redeemer or queen mother of heaven in the holy bible. Its a Roman Catholic invention that one must pray to Mary for various blessings. Jesus Christ said “…I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes to the Father but by me (Jn 14:6). This means that no-one can speak or pray to God unless they acknowledge Jesus Christ as the anointed one.
      Mary was not absolutely sinless and she wasn't resurrected by God as the Roman Catholics reckons she's been resurrected back to life and that she never sinned.

      @thefiredivine. I am a Catholic revert. Born Catholic is name only. Was an Atheist for over 40 years. I was big into meditation for awhile (Buddhist). I ended up having an undeniable Marian experience. I saw her and this infinite love, comfort, and acceptance came over me. It was absolutely the ultimate expression of a Mother’s love. It was Divine Love. From that moment on, I went from an atheist that dabbled in eastern mysticism to a devout Catholic instantaneously. I truly believe the Blessed Mother brings lost souls to her Son. There is a reason for so many Marian experiences. She is the herald for The Lord. Mary will always lead us to her Son. As the Magnificat says, “my soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord.” God Bless.

She immediately called the town doctor, in Italy, to have her examined. The doctor told my grandmother that she would not survive the night. Mom had the Spanish flu. Grandma decided to pray to Our Lady of Pompei of the Rosary for her intercession, to grant my mother a cure. The next day the doctor revisited my mother and said that, it was a miracle, the flu she had was gone. To honor Our Lady of Pompei for the miracle received, my mother got married in the Basilica of Our Lady of Pompei, Italy. Our Lady of Pompei granted my mother a second miracle. I am my mother's firstborn and that second miracle, was to have me born on her feast day. The feast of Our Lady of Pompei is the day of Our Lady of the Rosary, October 7, my birthday.

      Did you research this?
      Blasphemous titles claimed for the pope have been embellished and enlarged over the centuries. But a few of these boastful claims appear in an ecclesiastical (Roman Catholic) dictionary, by Lucius Ferraris, entitled _Prompta Bibliotheca Canonica,_ Vol. VI, pgs. 438, 442, article "Pope." _The Catholic Encyclopedia,_ 1913 edition, Vol. VI, p. 48, speaks of this book as "a veritable encyclopedia of religious knowledge," and "a precious mine of information."
      "The pope is of so great dignity and so exalted that he is not a mere man, but as it were God, and the vicar of God."
      "The pope is of such lofty and supreme dignity that, properly speaking, he has not been established in any rank of dignity, but rather has been placed upon the very summit of all ranks of dignities. . . ."
      "He is likewise the divine monarch and supreme emperor and king of kings."
      "Hence the pope is crowned with a triple crown, as king of heaven and of earth and of the lower regions."
      "So that if it were possible that the angels might err in the faith, or might think contrary to the faith, they could be judged and excommunicated by the pope."
      "The pope is as it were God on earth, sole sovereign of the faithful of Christ, chief king of kings, having plenitude of power, to whom has been entrusted by the omnipotent God direction not only of the earthly but also of the heavenly kingdom."
      "The pope can modify divine law, since his power is not of man but of God."

      "You know that I am the Holy Father, the representative of God on the earth, the Vicar of Christ, which means I am God on the earth." -Pope Pius XI, April 30, 1922.
      The pope calls himself God, i.e., "Lord God the pope," "another God on earth." "We hold upon this earth the place of God Almighty," Pope Leo XIII said in an _Encyclical Letter,_ June 20, 1894. "The Pope is not only the representative of Jesus Christ, but he is Jesus Christ Himself, hidden under the veil of flesh," the _Catholic National_ said in July 1895. And every priest is an "Alter Christus," Another Christ. So every priest is Jesus. Plus, during the Mass the priest transubstantiates the bread into the literal, "real presence" of Christ. In other words, man creates God. He is "the creator of his Creator. . . . 'The power of the priest,' says St. Bernardine of Sienna, 'is the power of the _divine person;_ for the transubstantiation of the bread requires as much power as the creation of the world.' . . . As the Word of God created heaven and earth, so, says St. Jerome, the words of the priest create Jesus Christ." _-The Dignity and Duties of the Priest_ by St. Alphonsus de Liguori, Ch. 1, Part IV, pg. 11. How is any of this _not_ blasphemy?!
      Christianity teaches that the pope is the Antichrist. The proud pontiff's official title is Vicar of Christ, meaning "in the place of Christ." Vicar of Christ translated into Greek is Antichristos, in English Antichrist, also meaning "in the place of Christ." Vicar of Christ and Antichrist are the exact same word in two different languages. Vicar of Christ in Latin is Vicarius Filii Dei, meaning Vicar of the Son of God, or Vicar of Christ. VICARIVS FILII DEI. Add up the 11 Roman numerals and you get 666.

      4 And _they worshipped the _*_dragon_*_ which gave power unto the beast:_ and they worshipped the beast . . .
      5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies . . .

      @@lester7690 Scripture gives examples of intercession by others besides Christ:
      In Revelation 5:8 and Revelation 8:3-4, we see the saints and angels in heaven offering prayers to God on behalf of others. This suggests that those in heaven participate in interceding for us.
      In 2 Maccabees 15:12-16, Judas Maccabeus has a vision of the deceased high priest Onias and the prophet Jeremiah praying for the people. While this book isn’t in Protestant Bibles, it was part of Scripture for early Christians and reflects the Jewish understanding of intercession by the righteous after death.
      In John 2:1-11, at the Wedding at Cana, Mary intercedes by asking Jesus to help when the wine runs out. Jesus performs His first miracle through her intercession, showing that God can choose to act through others.
      Yes, 1 Timothy 2:5 states that Jesus is the only mediator between God and humanity. But this doesn’t exclude secondary intercession, as we see in 1 Timothy 2:1, where Paul urges us to pray and intercede for others.

      The Catholic "church" doesn't _have_ Jesus. It has the _anti_ -Jesus, the Antichrist (in the place of Christ), the proud, blaspheming, thinks-he's-God-on-earth, leader of this counterfeit Christian "church," Satan's harlot church that sits on the seven hills and is drunken with the blood of the saints and martyrs of Jesus. Rev. 17:4-6, 9. This pretend Christian church was invented by Satan to be an _instrument of deception_ to trick people into thinking they're saved Christians when actually they're lost pagans. 🔥
      Blasphemous titles claimed for the pope have been embellished and enlarged over the centuries. But a few of these boastful claims appear in an ecclesiastical (Roman Catholic) dictionary, by Lucius Ferraris, entitled _Prompta Bibliotheca Canonica,_ Vol. VI, pgs. 438, 442, article "Pope." _The Catholic Encyclopedia,_ 1913 edition, Vol. VI, p. 48, speaks of this book as "a veritable encyclopedia of religious knowledge," and "a precious mine of information."
      "The pope is of so great dignity and so exalted that he is not a mere man, but as it were God, and the vicar of God."
      "The pope is of such lofty and supreme dignity that, properly speaking, he has not been established in any rank of dignity, but rather has been placed upon the very summit of all ranks of dignities. . . ."
      "He is likewise the divine monarch and supreme emperor and king of kings."
      "Hence the pope is crowned with a triple crown, as king of heaven and of earth and of the lower regions."
      "So that if it were possible that the angels might err in the faith, or might think contrary to the faith, they could be judged and excommunicated by the pope."
      "The pope is as it were God on earth, sole sovereign of the faithful of Christ, chief king of kings, having plenitude of power, to whom has been entrusted by the omnipotent God direction not only of the earthly but also of the heavenly kingdom."
      "The pope can modify divine law, since his power is not of man but of God."

      "The Pope has power to change times, to abrogate laws, and to dispense with all things, even the precepts of Christ." _-Decretal De Translat. - Espiscop. Cap_
      "I am all in all and *above all,* so that God, Himself and I, the Vicar of God, have but one consistory, and I am able to do ALMOST ALL THAT GOD CAN DO . . . What therefore, can you make of me but God?" -Pope Nicholas, quoted in _Antichrist_ by Ian Paisley, pg. 54.
      "You know that I am the Holy Father, the representative of God on the earth, the Vicar of Christ, which means I am God on the earth." -Pope Pius XI, April 30, 1922.
      The pope calls himself God, i.e., "Lord God the pope," "another God on earth." "We hold upon this earth the place of God Almighty," Pope Leo XIII said in an _Encyclical Letter,_ June 20, 1894. "The Pope is not only the representative of Jesus Christ, but he is Jesus Christ Himself, hidden under the veil of flesh," the _Catholic National_ said in July 1895. And every priest is an "Alter Christus," Another Christ. So every priest is Jesus. Plus, during the Mass the priest transubstantiates the bread into the literal, "real presence" of Christ. In other words, man creates God. He is "the creator of his Creator. . . . 'The power of the priest,' says St. Bernardine of Sienna, 'is the power of the _divine person;_ for the transubstantiation of the bread requires as much power as the creation of the world.' . . . As the Word of God created heaven and earth, so, says St. Jerome, the words of the priest create Jesus Christ." _-The Dignity and Duties of the Priest_ by St. Alphonsus de Liguori, Ch. 1, Part IV, pg. 11. How is any of this _not_ blasphemy?!
      Christianity teaches that the pope is the Antichrist. The proud pontiff's official title is Vicar of Christ, meaning "in the place of Christ." Vicar of Christ translated into Greek is Antichristos, in English Antichrist, also meaning "in the place of Christ." Vicar of Christ and Antichrist are the exact same word in two different languages. Vicar of Christ in Latin is Vicarius Filii Dei, meaning Vicar of the Son of God, or Vicar of Christ. VICARIVS FILII DEI. Add up the 11 Roman numerals and you get 666.

      4 And _they worshipped the _*_dragon_*_ which gave power unto the beast:_ and they worshipped the beast . . .
      5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies . . .
      6 And he opened his mouth in *blasphemy against God,* to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
      "And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, *_Come out of her,_** my people,* that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities." Rev. 18:4, 5.

      @popeye8427 Месяц назад

      @EmeraldMezinoi *Biblical Foundations*
      1. *Jesus as the sole Mediator*: Catholics agree with Protestants that Jesus is the sole Mediator between God and humanity (1 Tim 2:5). However, this doesn't exclude the role of other mediators in a subordinate sense.
      2. *Intercession of saints*: The Bible shows examples of intercession by saints (e.g., Genesis 18:22-33, Job 42:7-10, 2 Maccabees 15:12-16). Catholics believe this practice continues in heaven.
      *Tradition and Early Church Teachings*
      1. *Early Church Fathers*: St. Augustine, St. Basil, and St. Cyprian wrote about invoking saints' intercession.
      2. *Council of Trent*: Affirmed the legitimacy of invoking saints.
      *Theological Clarifications*
      1. *Distinction between adoration and veneration*: Catholics adore God alone but venerate saints as holy examples and intercessors.
      2. *Mary's role*: As Mother of God, Mary's intercession is uniquely honored, but not worshipped.
      *Scriptural Parallels*
      1. *Intercessory prayer*: The Bible encourages praying for one another (James 5:16, Ephesians 6:18).
      2. *Cloud of witnesses*: Hebrews 12:1 describes a "cloud of witnesses" cheering us on.
      *Catholic Practice*
      1. *Praying with saints*: Catholics ask saints to pray with and for them, not instead of Jesus.
      2. *Jesus as the ultimate Intercessor*: Every Catholic prayer, including the Rosary, ultimately goes through Jesus.
      *Dialogue Opportunities*
      1. Discuss the biblical concept of intercession.
      2. Explore Early Church teachings on saintly intercession.
      3. Clarify the distinction between adoration and veneration.
      *Key Phrases*
      1. "We're not replacing Jesus; we're asking saints to pray with us."
      2. "Jesus is the sole Mediator, but He works through His Body, the Church."
      3. "Invoking saints' intercession deepens our communion with Christ."

    Born and raised Romanian Orthodox (Eastern Orthodoxy), but as you I also fall apart from church. Things happened and I got Jesus giving me a nudge when almost losing my soul. Went to confession with 3 different priests, all off them told me the same thing: "Pray to Mary!", the last one giving me a specific prayer we have in orthodoxy.
    I am 2 months in, I had serious issues getting close to her for some reason, but now I feel and know why people really need her.
    Even seeing your video out of the blue, all the way in Romania makes sense to me, I got a very good insight that will help me in my prayers. May God bless you and Mary guide us all in the arms of Jesus. All the best from the other side of the world! ❤

      Interesting! The advice of priest or the advice of Christ! I see a difference here! Are we supposed to read the Bible, to obey the words of Jesus or the words of men? What a true honour, to have the chance, through the blood of Jesus, the new covenant, where people can to in Prayer directly to God the Father, trough Jesus, and comes the satan, telling people, we should pray to another interecessor. There is only one mediator, these are the words of Jesus, ONLY ONE, them man Jesus Christ!! Whom should we pray? To the Father, none but to the Father! But you just listen to people, to priests, to anyone who distort the words of Jesus!

    I had a similar trajectory. I was raised Catholic, as soon as I turned 18 went out and did my own thing. In my mid 20s and 30s I spent some time in various protestant churches that sowed doubt about Mary and the saints. I came back to the Catholic Church believing it to be the true Church of Jesus Christ. What I found is that many if not most protestants are woefully ignorant of Church history. Everyone worshiped by way of Catholic liturgy for the first 1500 years. Thank you for sharing your testimony.

      They worshipped that way since the papal apostasy in the early centuries, around 300 A.D., when Satan combined paganism and Christianity to form his harlot "church" that sits on the seven hills (Rev. 17:9)-the Catholic "church"-and the *Dark* Ages soon followed. When they finally realized they'd been duped by Satan, they stopped their idolatrous, heretical, and blasphemous Catholicism, and became true _Sola Scriptura_ Christians. Then the Age of _Enlightenment_ was ushered in. Satan and his counterfeit Christian "church" of Catholicism caused the *Dark* Ages; Christ and His Bible-based Protestant Reformation ushered in the Age of _Enlightenment._ Prince of *Darkness* vs. the _Light_ of the world. Results speak for themselves. The proof is in the results.

    It's amazing how God will answer you when we ask questions that will bring us closer to God. I did the same and now praying the rosary daily it's like breathing, you just know that you need to and want to do it. And for me it has opened my eyes and ears to asking questions and seeking out the hard truths, keep going forward and don't look back. God bless.

    Thank you for sharing your story! It is refreshing to hear other people's experiences!
    Here's mine in a nut shell.
    Born and raised Catholic. Growing up my parent's faith was pretty lukewarm although they never strayed from the faith, and neither did I.
    I never developed a devotion towards Mary, It was like I just took her for granted. Like when you see someone or something everyday, you just don't see them anymore.
    Until the time that my life took a drastic turn, I'll spare you of the details, but I lost everything. I had to move across country with my belongings in my car. It was winter, bad snow storm I had to go through, alone, driving my car, I was pretty scared, and all I could do was pray.
    All of a sudden, driving across Kentucky, heading towards Tennessee, I saw a HUGE billboard on the side of the road. All it said in big letters was:
    PRAY THE ROSARY.
    It was an incredible sight. I just recited a couple of Heil Marys, I made it to my destination safe and since then I started praying the Rosary (not everyday, but quite often) and developing a closer relationship with Mother Mary.
    She has been transforming my life slowly and giving me an unknown hunger to get closer to her Son.

Faith alone is also not in the Bible (the alone was added in KJV but was never in the original text). Praying the rosary is the Gospel on beads. It covers the Gospel and each day coordinates with different parts of Scripture. Prior to the last century, many people were illiterate and could not read the Bible, hence the reason for the rosary.

      I prefer the TLM and no doubt see how the enemy has infiltrated into the vatican (like pope Pius VI said), but don't have anything against a reverent Novus Ordo mass. Sadly, many of the Novus Ordo masses have priests that aren't as well formed as the TLM ones, and hence bad things (like many liturgical abuses) can happen. While I rarely go to the TLM, because I'm only 17 and go with my family (to the Novus Ordo), I do recommend the mass of the ages trilogy to get informed about the topic. Most importantly, pray the holy rosary and ask Mother Mary for guidance and discernment, for no one can lead us to her son better than her.

      I think you're getting out of Logic.

Before Mary conceived Jesus she was met by an angel and she is blessed and full of Grace by God to become the mother of our Lord God Jesus Christ. Do you think a human who is full of Grace has a sin? NOBODY CAN BECOME FULL OF GRACE WHO HAS A SIN. And no sinful body where God lives in her womb to form his blood and flesh for 9 months. GOD WILL NEVER LIVE IN HUMAN ESPECIALLY FORMING HIS FLESH AND BLOOD FROM A SINFUL PERSON. Your blaspheming the good plan of God to birth his son from a sinful person.

Mary said, my soul magnifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior! Mary was humble in acknowledging that God is her savior. If she was sinless, she wouldn't need a savior. She is not part of the Holy Trinity. She did not rise from the dead, unlike Jesus. Be careful, anything that you exalt to the level of God Himself is idolatry. We honor her for being the earthly mother of Christ our Savior. But to pray to her and adore her for being "sinless" is really making her like Jesus.

It was a book that truly blew my mind from the start. I listened to the audiobook and I even appreciated how St. Louis de Montfort clearly states in this book that any devotion to our Blessed Mother Mary that would become "worship" of her should always be immediately discouraged and ended. It made clear to me that Catholics venerate the Blessed Mother and do not encourage any type of worship of her as Protestants believe. When I joined the Catholic Church St. Louis de Montfort was my confirmation Saint because it was hiis words that lead me to the true church created by Jesus.

      Christianity teaches us this so that we are _not_ ignorant of Christianity.
      Blasphemous titles claimed for the pope have been embellished and enlarged over the centuries. But a few of these boastful claims appear in an ecclesiastical (Roman Catholic) dictionary, by Lucius Ferraris, entitled _Prompta Bibliotheca Canonica,_ Vol. VI, pgs. 438, 442, article "Pope." _The Catholic Encyclopedia,_ 1913 edition, Vol. VI, p. 48, speaks of this book as "a veritable encyclopedia of religious knowledge," and "a precious mine of information."
      "The pope is of so great dignity and so exalted that he is not a mere man, but as it were God, and the vicar of God."
      "The pope is of such lofty and supreme dignity that, properly speaking, he has not been established in any rank of dignity, but rather has been placed upon the very summit of all ranks of dignities. . . ."
      "He is likewise the divine monarch and supreme emperor and king of kings."
      "Hence the pope is crowned with a triple crown, as king of heaven and of earth and of the lower regions."
      "So that if it were possible that the angels might err in the faith, or might think contrary to the faith, they could be judged and excommunicated by the pope."
      "The pope is as it were God on earth, sole sovereign of the faithful of Christ, chief king of kings, having plenitude of power, to whom has been entrusted by the omnipotent God direction not only of the earthly but also of the heavenly kingdom."
      "The pope can modify divine law, since his power is not of man but of God."

      I speak the truth with what I tell you. Oct 9, I was healed at “Our Lady of Champion,” Shrine the only approved Apparition site of our Blessed Virgin Mary in USA. I was healed from disabling ailment I suffered with for 13 years and excruciating pain from 2016 incident.
      I speak not just from our Lady but from God the Father, the Son, & the Holy Spirit. Catholics must see the truth about Nationalism. The prophesies of Marie Julie Jahenny stating: the “horrible religion,” that “many many Bishops embrace,” is not the Novus Ordo Missae aka The New Mass from Vatican 2 that many accepted as such. This false acceptance had a ripple effect through our Church and caused much division and damage to Catholicism throughout the world! The true “horrible religion that “many many Bishops embraced,” is the communist backed Nationalism Movement! In USA it is known as Christian Nationalism and they play a huge role politically with this new party that took over our Republican party in real-time.
      MAGA’s goal is to dismantle the Constitutional Federal Republic Government of America! To rebuild a government for the needs of this incoming administration and their global multi corporate interests.
      Christian Nationalists hijacked the Christian name-they are a guise for white supremacy! In America the Nationalist Movement aka “Christian Nationalism,” has one goal-Dismantle Christianity & replace it with Nationalism, (aka Hate). The billionaire backed MAGA along with Nationalism work hand in hand, why Republicans and Democrats must work hand in hand to dismantle them-or America is no longer and religion will no longer exist, exactly what this communist backed, billionaire, private sector, “venture capitalist,” “rogue”government wants, because they strive to dismantle the global system to bring in the NEW WORLD ORDER & lawlessness, so that they can use their reverse engineered “alien technology,” against the people of the world, to have TOTAL CONTROL. This is the work of the EVIL ONE and the LEFT & the RIGHT AND ALL PEOPLE AGAINST the NEW WORLD ORDER MUST WORK TOGETHER!
      Nationalists teach hate, racism, and they fear diversity-everything that is the integral measures of the Catholic Church! The diverse congregation of all creeds, race, colors, converts of all religions from all nations is the Christian congregation-the body of Jesus Christ.
      These Nationalists will gather Christians of the 7 main denominations & Catholics up along with Gays, Jews, Blacks-all marginalized groups and persecute us! Please know I speak the truth!

    • @anthonyrusso2194

      The Battle of Lepanto happened because the Ottomans (Islam) had planned to sail across the Adriatic and conquer Rome, the epicenter of Christianity. Just as they did with Constantinople the previous century, in 1451. Every time I think of Lepanto I wonder if the Almighty abandoned the eastern church to its fate of Ottoman subjugation. The great schism that occurred in 1054 saw the eastern church separate from Rome. Four centuries later, 1451, Islam, the Ottoman empire, conquered Constantinople and thus became Istanbul. One of Christendom's most revered structures, the Hagia Sophia constructed around 532 A.D. fell into the hands of Islam and thus converted to a Mosque. Imagine if the Ottomans won the battle of Lepanto, St. Peter's would be a mosque. What would Western civilization look like? Or would it even exist? Hence, going back to my initial observation in which the eastern church to fell away from Rome and its eventual capture by the Ottomans. I can't help but think that the great schism was far more impactful to the Eastern church. Similarly, Rome survived two separate invasion attempts by the Ottomans, Lepanto 1451 and the Battle of Vienna 1683. Matthew 16:18 says, "And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it". Further food for thought, Peter is entombed in the Vatican. An additional point, one of the ensigns used during the battle was the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe on the Christian side vs the ensign decorated with Quranic verses and the image of a zulfiqar, the double-bladed sword said to have been what Mohammed had used in his slaughterings, with the name of Allah stitched in gold 29,800 times. Go figure.

I’ve noticed many protestants have a lot to say about Catholicism yet they don’t know what they are saying as I firmly believe they have not taken the time and discernment to study and know the faith. If they knew, they would convert. They can be very convincing and I just applaud you and Jesus Christ for giving you the wisdom and discernment to read scripture and study the Faith. Peace be with you and to everyone.

      People misinterpret the woman clothed with the sun, with the moon at her feet of Revelation 12 as being the Virgin Mary. And yet Satan persecuted this woman so that she had to flee "from the face of the serpent." So if the devil fears Mary, how could he persecute her for 1260 days/years, and why should she be scared of him that she should flee from him when she could easily crush the serpent's head?? I think the devil tricked you with false religion, his harlot "church" that sits on the seven hills (Rev. 17:4-6, 9), masquerading as a Christian church.

    I always struggled as a kid with feeling like people around me treated different apparitions of Mary like different saints...but now that I'm older I realize the Church isn't the one teaching that stuff, that's just basic human ignorance aka failure to educate ourselves on our faith and its history. Also people praying the rosary so meaninglessly, I realize that's just human flaws once again...we can pray each prayer meaningfully and then it's simply beautiful.
    Similar struggles to yours...long story short, I returned to the Church in 2017, and started praying the Rosary after losing a friend tragically in 2020...and it was what pulled me out of depression and anxiety somehow. Same as you, I can't explain but I can feel the graces pouring forth.... sometimes when I say the Hail Mary slowly and thoughtfully I feel such Joy that is beyond words, like being a kid again. I know she is my Mom, and that's all I need to know ❤

      @ronedee, The Catholics seem to have a lot of trouble learning to understand the Bible. The Bible teaches that The Lord God is the Only Trinity God: God The Father, God The Son and God The Holy Spirit.
      Mary was blessed on this earth. Nowhere in the Bible does it say that Mary occupies a special place in heaven nor that she sits on the throne next to The Father and The Son.

      Trinity of God was defined by the Catholic Church.
      The Bible gives allusion that Mary is the queen of heaven, with a crown of 12 stars on her head, clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet.
      If you say Mary is not the mother of God, then you are saying the man Jesus is not God. In that case, you will be dividing the person of Jesus into two. You will be saying while the spirit of Jesus is God, the man Jesus is not God. But then we believe body and spirit constitute one person, not two persons.
      When we are conceived, God creates our spirit. But Jesus's spirit existed from before. He was conceived when the Holy Spirit overshadowed Mary.
      Catholics say Mary is theotokos, God bearer. She is not divine but she was the one who gave flesh and blood to the man Jesus, who is God from eternity.
      When Catholic Church defined Mary to be the mother of God it is not so much about Mary but more so about Jesus Christ. The Church wanted to make it very clear that the man Jesus Christ is God in the flesh

    I don't know if it is a language thing, but in French, to pray -> prier, is still used to this day, instead of "ask", in formal conversations like "je vous prie de m'excuser", meaning "if you could please excuse me". I barely hear the word pray in English other than religious context, so I wonder if that's the reason why people think that we pray to Mary and the saints, and the angels as if we worship them, even though we don't, and there is nothing in the prayer, that shows any signs of worship.

      If Christ is the _Light_ of the world and the Catholic church is His church, how come Rome caused _centuries_ of darkness, now called the *Dark* Ages, and the Protestant Reformation is what ushered in the Age of _Enlightenment_ back in the 1500s? And if the Catholic church is the church of Christ, how come its proud leader is a blaspheming Antichrist (in the place of Christ), the Beast brought to power by Satan, the Prince of *Darkness* ?
      Blasphemous titles claimed for the pope have been embellished and enlarged over the centuries. But a few of these boastful claims appear in an ecclesiastical (Roman Catholic) dictionary, by Lucius Ferraris, entitled _Prompta Bibliotheca Canonica,_ Vol. VI, pgs. 438, 442, article "Pope." _The Catholic Encyclopedia,_ 1913 edition, Vol. VI, p. 48, speaks of this book as "a veritable encyclopedia of religious knowledge," and "a precious mine of information."
      "The pope is of so great dignity and so exalted that he is not a mere man, but as it were God, and the vicar of God."
      "The pope is of such lofty and supreme dignity that, properly speaking, he has not been established in any rank of dignity, but rather has been placed upon the very summit of all ranks of dignities. . . ."
      "He is likewise the divine monarch and supreme emperor and king of kings."
      "Hence the pope is crowned with a triple crown, as king of heaven and of earth and of the lower regions."
      "So that if it were possible that the angels might err in the faith, or might think contrary to the faith, they could be judged and excommunicated by the pope."
      "The pope is as it were God on earth, sole sovereign of the faithful of Christ, chief king of kings, having plenitude of power, to whom has been entrusted by the omnipotent God direction not only of the earthly but also of the heavenly kingdom."
      "The pope can modify divine law, since his power is not of man but of God."

    No, therefore she is the mother of the head and body.
    And if the Church is the body of Christ, then it follows that she is the mother of the Church and therefore the mother of all believers.
