Why Are Catholics Unable To Admit That, Yes, They Do Pray To Mary As Official Vatican Teaching Commands Them To Do?

Statues of Mary were everywhere you looked, we were taught about the many apparitions of Mary around the world, celebrated Mary on May Day, and gave her the top spot in our thoughts and devotions. St. Mary’s school and Roman Catholic Church taught us these things by order of the Vatican

In the interest of full disclosure, I was a Catholic for the first 30 years of my life. I was baptized as a baby, received “first holy communion”, was “confirmed”, spent 3 years as an altar boy in St. Mary’s Church in Pompton Lakes, NJ, and in total was educated in the Catholic school system for 12 long years. Part of our Catholic training was learning how to pray to the Virgin Mary. Statues of Mary were everywhere you looked, we were taught about the many apparitions of Mary around the world, celebrated Mary on May Day, and gave her the top spot in our thoughts and devotions. St. Mary’s school and Roman Catholic Church taught us these things by order of the Vatican. Every other Catholic school or church I ever visited in 30 years did likewise. So with all that being said, why am I constantly hearing Catholics denying that they pray to Mary?

“Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” Acts 4:10-12 (KJV)

One reason for this, I suppose, is because prayer to anyone who is not God, who is not part of the Godhead – Father, Son and Holy Spirit –  is blasphemy. So Catholics are taught to play “word games”, ala Bill Clinton, and get you debating the difference between praying to someone and simply “venerating” them. But as you will see below, this is nothing more than linguistic hogwash. Catholics absolutely do pray to Mary, and worst of all, they look to her for salvation!

“Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.” Colossians 2:8,9 (KJB)

CLICK TO READ ABOUT THE DAY THAT MARY WORSHIP BECAME OFFICIAL CHURCH DOCTRINE

But we shall let the words of some of the official, Vatican-approved Catholic prayers to Mary speak for themselves. There are hundreds of Catholic prayers to Mary, I just simply did a search and picked the first 4 at random. Read and decide for yourself:

  • The Memorare To Mary: “REMEMBER, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly to thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother; to thee do I come; before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.” source
  • Prayer to Our Lady of Perpetual Help: “O Mother of Perpetual Help, grant me ever to be able to call upon thy powerful name, since thy name is the help of the living and the salvation of the dying. Ah, Mary most pure, Mary most sweet, grant that thy name from this day forth may be to me the very breath of life. Dear Lady, delay not to come to my assistance whenever I call upon thee; for in all the temptations that assail me, in all the necessities that befall me, I will never leave off calling upon thee, ever repeating: Mary, Mary. What comfort, what sweetness, what confidence, what tenderness fills my soul at the sound of thy name, at the very thought of thee! I give thanks to our Lord, who for my sake hath given thee a name so sweet, so lovable, so mighty. But I am not content merely to speak thy name; I would utter it for very love of thee; it is my desire that love should ever remind me to name thee, Mother of Perpetual Help.” source
  • Hail, Holy Queen: “Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of mercy, our life, our sweetness and our hope! To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve. To thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us and after this our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.” source
  • Prayer To Our Lady, Help Of Christians: “Most Holy Virgin Mary, Help of Christians, how sweet it is to come to your feet imploring your perpetual help. If earthly mothers cease not to remember their children, how can you, the most loving of all mothers forget me? Grant then to me, I implore you,  your perpetual help in all my necessities, in every sorrow, and especially in all my temptations. I ask for your unceasing help for all who are now suffering. Help the weak, cure the sick, convert sinners. Grant through your intercessions many vocations to the religious life.  Obtain for us, O Mary, Help of Christians, that having invoked you on earth we may love and eternally thank you in heaven.” source

On January 1, 2014, during the Roman Catholic Feast of the Mother of God, Pope Francis declared the following to be true about Mary:

“The Mother of the Redeemer precedes us continually and confirms us in the faith, in the vocation and in the mission. With her example of humility and of availability to the will of God, she helps us to translate our faith in a joyful announcement of the gospel without frontiers. In this way our mission will be fruitful, because it is modelled on the maternity of Mary. To her we entrust our itinerary of faith, the desires of our heart, our necessities, the needs of the whole world, especially the hunger and the thirst for justice and peace; and we invoke her all together.”

Have you ever look to see the references to the Queen of Heaven in the Bible?

So as you can clearly see, not only does the Vatican teach it’s followers to pray to Mary, they have put her in place of Jesus Christ, to provide as they say “the needs of the whole world”. They call her the “advocate”, the “redeemer”, they call her “holy”, they call her the “intercessor”, and many other titles that belong to God alone. When you read the Bible you see that Mary was “blessed among woman”, but she was not blessed above women. The Bible in no way says or implies that she was “sinless”, and in fact, she goes to the Temple to make a sin offering. Lastly, no where in the Bible does it say or imply that she can now hear prayers or answer prayers. None of that is in the Bible. But you do find this reference to the Queen of Heaven that’s pretty interesting:

“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 (KJV)

Yikes! That’s not good…

Do Catholics pray to Mary? Absolutely. They just don’t have the guts to admit they do.

THE PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: Catholic Nun Kicked To The Ground In Jerusalem As Attacks On Christians And Roman & Orthodox Catholics Rise Across Israel

Attacks On Christians And Catholics Are Rising In Israel As Catholic Nun Is Kicked To The Ground On The Streets Of Jerusalem

To this lost world, there is little to no distinction made between biblically born again Christians and members of cult and fringe groups like the Roman Catholics, Mormons, Jehovah’s Witness and Seventh Day Adventists. To them, it’s all the same, it’s all Christianity. So for the sake of our discussion today, we will label all of it as “professing Christianity”. That said, there is a verifiable rise on Christians in Israel at the hands of radical Orthodox Jews, and it grows worse by the day. In our story today, we see a Roman Catholic nun kicked to the ground by Orthodox Jews, and this is just the tip of the end times iceberg.

“As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sakes.” Romans 11:28 (KJB)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, the attacker was not some nameless shadow from a vague “troubled region.” Israeli police arrested a 36-year-old Jewish suspect, and AP reported that the assailant seen in the video was wearing tzitzit, the fringes worn by observant Jewish men. AP also noted that Christian leaders and organizations have been warning of a growing trend of violence and harassment against Christian clergy and pilgrims, often by ultra-Orthodox Jewish youth. There it is. Not rumor, not propaganda, not replacement theology hysteria. A documented pattern. The Rossing Center’s reporting on attacks against Christians in Israel and East Jerusalem says that in known 2024 cases, the perpetrators were Jewish individuals, “primarily young men from ultra-Orthodox and national-religious circles,” driven by a mix of nationalist fervor and religious extremism, especially among ultra-Orthodox nationalist groups. The 2024 report documented 111 incidents, including physical attacks, attacks on church properties, harassment, and defacement, while coverage of the report noted that most victims were clergy or people wearing visible Christian symbols. The Rossing Center’s 2025 report says the harassment and violence are continuing to escalate across Israel and East Jerusalem. Your King James Bible clearly says that this lost world is preparing itself to receive Antichrist in the coming “strong delusion”. Today we bring you everything you need to know about the Jews, Christians, cults and the scripture of truth.

THE PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: From Golden Statues To Passports With His Name And Image, Donald Trump Is Preparing America And The World For Antichrist

America’s 250th Anniversary Trump Passport And Golden Doral Statue Show The Nation Bowing Before Political Image Worship

No American president has ever branded himself across the national consciousness like Donald Trump. Washington didn’t do this, Lincoln didn’t do this, and Reagan did not do this. Donald Trump has fused the presidency with celebrity, merchandise, spectacle, and personal self-exaltation in a way absolutely unprecedented in American presidential history. He has branded himself as the image of America just as Stalin did in Russia and Adolf Hitler in Nazi Germany. Tell the Liberals to call off their rallies, they don’t have to worry about Donald Trump becoming a king, he is already a god.

“And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration unto them. And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man.“ Acts 12:21,22 (KJB)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, there are moments in a nation’s decline when the symbolism becomes so obvious that it no longer needs interpretation. A golden statue of Donald Trump raising his fist now stands at Trump National Doral, and at nearly the same time, America is preparing limited-edition 250th anniversary passports featuring Trump’s image and gold signature above the name of the United States of America. That is not normal. That isn’t “patriotic branding.” That is the machinery of national identity being slowly bent around the image of one man. Reports say the passport design would mark the first time a living American president has appeared in a U.S. passport, a staggering break with American presidential tradition. The Bible tells us that one of the chief characteristics of Antichrist is not merely political power, but self-exaltation. He is not content to rule; he must be seen, admired, worshipped, and placed above all others. In our Constitutional Republic, the passport belongs to the citizen. The presidency belongs to the office, and the country belongs to the people. But when the ruler’s image is stamped onto the national identity document, when golden statues rise on elite properties, when one man’s name and face become the movement, the product, the brand, and the banner, we are no longer talking about ordinary politics. We are watching a dress rehearsal for the coming image-based worship system of Revelation 13, and we will prove that to you, and much, much more.

Today, we are literally and actually sounding the end times alarm that the Antichrist kingdom is being prepared in Washington DC, and that Donald Trump is the foreunner of the coming Antichrist.

Israel Set To Host The Middle East’s Largest LGBTQ+ Festival ‘Pride Land’ At The Dead Sea In A Mockery Of The God Who Burned Both Sodom And Gomorrha

Israel’s Pride Land Festival At The Dead Sea Is A Prophetic Slap In The Face To The God Who Burned Sodom And Gomorrha

There are moments when the Bible believer looks at the headlines and feels like they are watching the pages of Scripture rise up, walk off the page, and rebuke the modern world in real time. Israel’s planned Pride Land LGBTQ+ festival at the Dead Sea in June 2026 is one of those moments. Think about the arrogance of it! The very people, the Jews, to whom “were committed the oracles of God”, the word of God, are now the same people who spit in God’s face promoting what He hates. At NTEB, we have always stood with the Jews, supported the nation of Israel and prayed for the peace of Jerusalem. But that support is not a ‘blank check’, and we absolutely call all Christians everywhere to stand against this ‘Pride Land at the Dead Sea’ abomination. Pray for the salvation of the Jews and Israel.

“But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly.” Genesis 13:13 (KJB)

The Dead Sea region is not just a pretty desert backdrop for rainbow flags, DJs, hotel packages and global Pride tourism. It is the biblical landscape associated with Sodom and Gomorrha, a place forever linked in the word of God with rebellion, sexual perversion, divine wrath, and the fire of Almighty God falling from Heaven. The same God who rained brimstone and fire on Sodom is now being openly mocked by a generation that thinks judgment is impossible because they have festivals, branding, sponsors, hashtags and hotel reservations. But God is not mocked.

“Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.” Jude 7 (KJB)

That verse says Sodom and Gomorrha were set forth for an example. An example of what? An example of what happens when a people gives itself over to fornication and strange flesh. An example of what happens when sin is no longer hidden in shame, but paraded in the streets with pride. An example of what happens when man shakes his fist in the face of God and declares evil to be good. And now, in the very region where that example still screams from the pages of your King James Bible, Israel is preparing to host what is being promoted as the Middle East’s largest LGBT festival. That is not progress, that’s a provocation. What the world calls inclusion, God calls abomination.

“Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.” Leviticus 18:22 (KJB)

Now, you can put a rainbow over it, you can attach tourism dollars to it. You can call it diversity, equality, freedom, love, expression, identity or celebration. But the King James Bible still calls it what it is. Sin. It’s an abomination. And no committee, court, government, sponsor, activist group or religious compromiser has the authority to edit what God has already written.

This is the great deception of our day: sinners no longer want forgiveness, they want affirmation. They no longer want mercy from God, they want applause from man. They do not want the blood of Jesus Christ to cleanse them from sin; they want the world to reclassify sin as virtue. That is why Pride is such a perfect word for the movement. Pride was the original sin of Lucifer, and it remains the chief operating system of a world in rebellion against God. Israel, of all nations, should know better.

This is the land where the prophets preached. This is the land where the Law was given. This is the land where the Son of God walked, preached, healed, was rejected, crucified, buried, and rose again the third day according to the scriptures. This is the land where Jesus Christ will return at the Second Advent to rule and reign from Jerusalem. And yet, in that same land, the spirit of Sodom is being invited in, celebrated, platformed and packaged as a vacation experience. End times insanity.

That is why this story is so spiritually explosive, it shows you the condition of modern Israel: back in the land physically, but still in unbelief spiritually. God has preserved Israel. God has regathered Israel. God has plans for Israel. But modern Israel is not righteous simply because it is Israel. The ‘rightly dividing’ and dispensational Bible believer understands the difference between God’s covenant purposes for Israel and the present spiritual blindness of Israel.

“For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.” Romans 11:25 (KJB)

That blindness is on full display when the land of the prophets becomes a stage for the sins of Sodom. Don’t miss the prophetic irony. The Dead Sea is called dead for a reason. It is a lifeless, salt-choked body of water in a region that stands as a grim reminder of judgment. And now Pride Land wants to transform that barren desert into a “colorful pride city.” Man says, “Look what we can build.” God says, “Remember what I burned.”

“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;” Romans 1:18 (KJB)

Romans 1 is not ancient history. It is this morning’s headline. It is the moral map of the last days. When a people rejects the God of the Bible, God gives them up. Then He gives them up again. Then He gives them over. That is not revival. That is judgment already in motion.

“For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:” Romans 1:26 (KJB)

Hey man, that’s not hate speech, so don’t get mad at us for saying it. That is Holy Scripture. The Bible believer doesn’t rejoice in anyone’s destruction. We preach against sin because souls are at stake. The same Bible that condemns sodomy also offers salvation to the sodomite, the fornicator, the drunkard, the idolater, the liar, the thief, the religious hypocrite, and every lost sinner who will come to Jesus Christ by faith.

“And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.” 1 Corinthians 6:11 (KJB)

That is the message Pride Land will never preach. Pride says, “Celebrate yourself.” The gospel says, “Deny yourself.” Pride says, “Be who you are.” The gospel says, “Ye must be born again.” Pride says, “No repentance required.” The Bible says without repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ, there is no salvation. Modern Israel needs the same gospel the Gentile nations need. America needs it. Europe needs it. The Middle East needs it. The LGBTQ+ activist needs it. The religious Jew needs it. The Catholic priest needs it. The Baptist preacher needs it. The atheist needs it. Every sinner needs the shed blood of Jesus Christ.

But make no mistake: when Israel hosts a Pride festival by the Dead Sea, it is not a harmless cultural event. It is a prophetic alarm bell. It is Sodom remembered not with trembling, but with celebration. It is the last-days world wrapping itself in a rainbow and daring the God of Heaven to respond. And He will. The first time God judged Sodom with fire from Heaven. The next time, the whole world is headed for the fire of the Day of the Lord after the Church is removed in the Pretribulation Rapture and the time of Jacob’s trouble begins.

“The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the LORD come.” Joel 2:31 (KJB)

This is why we preach, this is why we warn, this is why we do not soften the edges, trim the verses, or apologize for the Book. The same Bible that tells us what happened to Sodom also tells us what is coming upon a Christ-rejecting world. Pride Land at the Dead Sea is not just crazy. It is a signpost. It is a warning. It is a flashing red light on the prophetic dashboard. The King is coming, but Israel is not even close to ready. But Israel will be made ready in the time of Jacob’s trouble. The gentile nations are not ready. The professing church is asleep. The world is drunk on pride, lust, money, religion, technology and rebellion. But Jesus Christ is ready, and the Bible believer had better be ready too. He is coming soon.

Now The End Begins is your front line defense against the rising tide of darkness in the last Days before the Rapture of the Church
