Roman Catholic Church Puts Mary On The Cross

ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH PUTS MARY ON THE CROSS (Friday Church News Notes, September 28, 2007, www.wayoflife.org fbns@wayoflife.org, 866-295-4143) - In spite of claims of contemporary Catholic propagandists, the Roman Catholic Church worships Mary. She is exalted as the sinless Mother of God who was bodily assumed into Heaven and crowned Queen of the Universe. According to Roman Catholic doctrine, Mary sits on Jesus’ throne and acts as His Co-Mediatrix. In the Church of the Mother of God of Polish Martyrs in Warsaw there is a painting of Mary hanging on the cross holding the child Jesus. Outside of the main Mary basilica in Rome (Santa Maria Maggiore) there is a large crucifix with Jesus hanging on one side and a crowned Mary hanging on the other. The painting in Warsaw and the crucifix in Rome depict Rome’s dogma that Mary is the co-redemptress with Christ, that she intercedes for men from heaven and aids in their salvation. Note the following quotations from the Vatican II Council: “As St. Irenaeus says, she being obedient, BECAME THE CAUSE OF SALVATION for herself and for the whole human race. Hence not a few of the early Fathers gladly assert with him in their preaching ... ‘death through Eve, LIFE THROUGH MARY.’ This UNION OF THE MOTHER WITH THE SON IN THE WORK OF SALVATION is made manifest from the time of Christ’s virginal conception up to his death” (Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, chap. 8, II, 56, pp. 380-381). “Taken up to heaven she did not lay aside this saving office but BY HER MANIFOLD INTERCESSION CONTINUES TO BRING US THE GIFTS OF ETERNAL SALVATION. By her maternal charity, she cares for the brethren of her Son, who still journey on earth surrounded by dangers and difficulties, until they are led into their blessed home. Therefore the Blessed Virgin is invoked in the Church under the titles of ADVOCATE, HELPER, BENEFACTRESS, and MEDIATRIX” (Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, chap. 8, II, 62, pp. 382-383). A plaque in the Chapel of the Virgin of the Grace at Saints Vincent and Anastasius Church in Rome says, “Cardinal Benedetto Odescalchi, who became the pope with the name of Innocent XI, initiated THE WORSHIP OF THE IMAGE, placed on the altar in 1677, and wanted his heart to be buried here, not in the main chapel.” This is only one example of many that could be given of the term “worship” used in regard to Mary in Rome’s churches.

catholicism is merely vehement pagan worship which places all things above God

[Travis_Minnesota]

Every Catholic picture I see of Jesus is Him looking helpless and needs someone to hold him up!! Or, looks dead on the cross in some helpless manner. This sickens me about the teachings and images af the RCC. Satan has deceived so many Catholics! Catholic worship of Mary is a sin! Mary was a sinner just like you and I and needed a redeemer herself. Jesus is the only One who can help you, not Mary.

The Vatican Council teaches that Mary, as the mother of Jesus, suffered more watching Jesus die on the cross than he did dying on the cross.....

That's nuts! He had the sin of the whole past, present, and future population piled on him.

Including Mary's sins.

Not only that, but He rose from the dead and said he'd be back. We don't need to worship a dead Christ; some ugly sculpture around someone's neck...

It looks like Mary is teaching the baby Jesus how to be crucified.

The real Mary never understood what was happening until the resurrection.
