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 give 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

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.

Kristallnacht Comes To Hamilton Hall At Columbia University With ‘Night Of Broken Glass’ In Support Of Hamas, Openly Calling For Genocide Of The Jews

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

The Kristallnacht takeover of Hamilton Hall by pro-Palestinian protesters comes after the university announced it was suspending students after previously asking protesters involved in the anti-Israel encampment to leave by 2:00 p.m.

The breaking of the glass windows at Hamilton Hall at Columbia University last night was done in a careful, methodical and highly intentional way. The breakers of the glass very much wanted to bring to your remembrance an event that took place in Nazi Germany in 1938 called Kristallnacht, the ‘night of broken glass’. This seminal event was the kick-off to the 7 years of Jewish-specific concentration camps which would extinguish the lives of 6 million Jews. This is exactly what the rioters at Columbia University wanted you to think of last night. The horror of the gas chambers and the ovens was the end point for what started with Nazi soldiers writing threatening words on the windows of Jewish shopkeepers using a ten cent bar of soap. Think about that.

“Behold, I will send for many fishers, saith the LORD, and they shall fish them; and after will I send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks.” Jeremiah 16:16 (KJB)

This world is preparing itself to receive Antichrist, and because of that, we are seeing a huge uptick in violent antisemitism not only in America but around the world as well. On college campuses like Columbia, they are calling for the genocide of the Jews to such a degree that Jewish students can no longer attend classes. Columbia University officials are advising “members of the University community” to avoid going to the Morningside campus if possible on Tuesday in light of the protesters occupying Hamilton Hall, according to a campus alert from Columbia Public Safety. This not only antisemitism, this is the end times. Pick a side, Christian, pick a side. Am Yisrael Chai.

Anti-Israel Protesters Seize Administrative Building at Columbia University

FROM BREITBART NEWS: Anti-Israel protesters involved in an encampment at Columbia University took over an administrative building early Tuesday morning. Video footage posted to X showed anti-Israel protesters carrying barricades into Hamilton Hall, an academic building on the university’s campus.

In its Telegram channel, Within Our Lifetime (WOL) Palestine posted an announcement calling for protection of the anti-Israel encampment on the campus.

“Student organizers have called on everyone to come to Columbia TONIGHT and defend the encampment after administration’s threats this morning,” the group wrote in a post on the channel.

Other videos posted to X showed anti-Israel protesters smashing the glass doors of Hamilton Hall, as people can be heard chanting, “Disclose. Divest. We will not stop, we will not rest.” Anti-Israel protesters who occupied Hamilton Hall were photographed hanging pro-Palestinian posters from the windows of the building. Protesters were videotaped hanging a banner from the windows of the building that read, “Intifada,” as anti-Israel protesters can be heard chanting, “Free, free, free, free, Palestine. From the river to the sea…”

The takeover of Hamilton Hall by pro-Palestinian protesters comes after the university announced it was suspending students after previously asking protesters involved in the anti-Israel encampment to leave by 2:00 p.m.

An initial encampment was started on Columbia University’s campus on April 17. The next day several students were suspended, and hundreds of protesters involved in the encampment were arrested. Columbia University had removed the initial encampment, but since then, it has returned. Since the start of the encampment at Columbia University, others have been established at the University of California Los Angeles, Yale University, Harvard University, George Washington University, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, among others. READ MORE

Jews Have Been Driven Off Of Campus At Columbia University As Violent Pro-Hamas And Anti-Israel Protests Threaten To Spread Across Nation

Published

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Student demonstrators at Columbia University have forced Jews off campus, as tensions rose on the campus at the epicenter of pro-Palestinian anti-Israel protests across US colleges.

A storm is brewing on college campuses across America, to quote Uncle Billy from ‘It’s A Wonderful Life’, it’s shaping up to be a squall. Nearly all the Jewish students at Columbia University have been driven off campus due to the violent threats and incendiary rhetoric coming from the pro-Hamas and pro-Palestinian rioters at the school. The Declaration of Independence says “Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble…” Once things turn ugly, the protest has become a riot, and that is not protected by our Constitution.

“And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.” Matthew 27:37 (KJB)

If you are old enough to remember the protests on college campuses over the Vietnam War, then much of what you’re seeing right now is eerily reminiscent of that time. You will also remember that when other agitator factions entered into the mix, things got real violent real fast, and people started dying. If present trends continue, I would have to believe that we are getting close to that scenario once again. The presidential conventions for the GOP and DNC are in July and August respectively, and it’s a pretty fair bet that these riots will be present during those gatherings.

Columbia University on edge as talks collapse over Gaza protests

FROM BREITBART NEWS: Police arrested around 275 people on four separate campuses in the United States over the weekend, with the White House calling on the growing protests in recent weeks to remain peaceful. Columbia University said Monday that many Jewish students have left its campus and it demanded that the protestors’ encampment must be cleared, adding that Columbia would not divest financial holdings linked to Israel — a key demand of demonstrators.

Students pushed back, vowing to defend their camp on the New York institution’s main lawn, despite the threat of suspensions and disciplinary action from the college. As of midday only students with university ID cards were free to walk onto campus, AFP observed.

Columbia University classics professor Joseph Howley told AFP the school’s statement Monday amounted to yielding to outside political pressure. He said Columbia is “affirming the false premise that the mere presence of political speech on behalf of Palestine is a threat to Jews like myself.”

He called such a position “absurd and dangerous.”

Protests against the Gaza war, with its high civilian death toll among Palestinian civilians, have posed a challenge to university administrators trying to balance free speech rights with complaints that the rallies have veered into anti-Semitism and hate speech.

For almost two weeks now a wave of protests against Israel’s war in Gaza has swept across US university campuses, coast to coast, after beginning at Columbia. Around 100 protesters were arrested there April 18. Footage of police in riot gear and summoned by university officials to break up rallies have been viewed around the world, recalling the protest movement that erupted during the Vietnam war.

At University of California, Los Angeles skirmishes broke out Sunday between pro-Palestinian protesters and supporters of Israel. These nationwide rallies have reignited debate on freedom of expression, anti-Zionism and what kind of language or behavior amount to being anti-Semitic.

The Gaza war started when Hamas militants staged an unprecedented attack on Israel on October 7 that left around 1,170 people dead, according to an AFP tally of Israeli official figures. Palestinian militants also took roughly 250 people hostage. Israel estimates 129 remain in Gaza, including 34 the military says are dead. READ MORE

Emmanuel Macron Offers The EU A ‘Nuclear Umbrella’ Spread Out Over Europe With 300 French Submarine-Launched Ballistic Missiles As Russia Deterrent

French president Emmanuel Macron has suggested the submarine-launched nuclear warheads are fanned across the continent to create a ‘nuclear umbrella’ over Europe

Emmanuel Macron is in his second term as French president, and has just offered the entire weight of the nuclear arsenal of France to the European Union to create a massive ‘nuclear umbrella’ to protect EU nations from a Russian nuclear attack. Today Macron is the president of France, but soon he just may be the king of the world. No kidding.

“And after the league made with him he shall work deceitfully: for he shall come up, and shall become strong with a small people.” Daniel 11:23 (KJB)

If the European Union takes Macron up on his offer of all of France’s nuclear arsenal, guess what else comes with that? He does. Macron comes with that very generous offer, and it becomes the perfect tool to insert himself into a position whereby he gets closer and closer to ruling over all of Europe like Jupiter, just as he prophesied he would back in 2017. Emmanuel Macron is smart, very smart, and one day soon he is going to the leader of all Europe on his way to his 7-year appointment with his biblical destiny. Now that last part is just my opinion, mind you, but looks more and more likely as time goes on.

Europe planning new ‘nuclear umbrella’ with 300 French nuke missiles spread across continent for showdown with Russia

THE SUN US: Macron’s offer followed a German minister urging the UK and France to forge a “nuclear shield” to deter Russia. Leaders in Europe are worried about the ramifications of a possible Donald Trump win in the November presidential election. And nuclear threats are coming out of Russia thick and fast as Putin’s illegal war in Ukraine drags on.

Macron said he wanted to open up conversations about “missile defence, long-range weapons and nuclear weapons” across Europe. The French premier, who has been incredibly vocal about stepping up defence in the face of Putin, said we need a “credible European defence”.

The current US-led NATO alliance, he believes, does not offer enough protection.

France, he says, “is ready to contribute more to the defence of European soil,” independently from America, offering up the 300-ballistic and cruise missile store. But Russia’s nuclear stores dwarf their collective power, with the world’s most extensive and varied collection by a considerable amount. Even the US has fewer nukes.

Just this weekend, one of Putin’s state TV propaganda puppets issued a fresh nuclear threat against the West.

Dmitry Kiselyov warned: “If NATO countries deploy their forces to Ukraine in order to deal strategic defeat to Russia, then that very moment will come of which Putin has spoken. In that case, we’ll send everything flying everywhere! Sarmat, Yars and Avangard missiles. “American decision-making centres and launch sites on land and sea are already in our crosshairs. France, as a nuclear power, will have to be disarmed in an instant. The British isles will simply go underwater. We have the technologies for this.” By referring to “American decision-making centres and launch sites”, Kiselyov was referencing bases across Europe in allied countries. Just days ago Moscow warned that NATO’s nuclear weapons and facilities would be targeted if they are deployed in Poland.

Macron is suggesting France’s nuclear arsenal of submarine-launched ballistic missiles and air-launched cruise missiles are shared around the continent.

He urged: “French doctrine is that we can use nuclear arms when our vital interests are at stake … There is a European dimension in these vital interests. I am in favour of opening this debate, which must therefore include missile defence, long-range weapons and nuclear weapons for those who have them or who have American nuclear weapons on their soil. France will keep its specificity, but it is ready to contribute more to the defence of European soil.”

And last week he doubled down on a specifically European network of defence: “The European pillar of Nato that we are building is essential. But we should build a European defence framework.

“We have to … build a Europe able to show that it is never a vassal of the US.” READ MORE

French President Emmanuel Macron backed a common European defence featuring nuclear weapons on April 28. Macron also said that France is “ready to contribute more to the defence of Europe. In an interview published in several French newspapers Macron said France’s nuclear weapons could be part of a common European defence strategy. According to Macron, French nuclear warheads could be a “credible European defence” against possible Russian threats. France reportedly has about 300 nuclear warheads and is the only nuclear power in the European Union (EU).
