Mary acts as a filter of universal Christianity.
How can anyone call themselves a Christian and attack others' love for her so long as that love doesn't counter God's instructions?
When one could still find it in their heart to have mastered every scripture that seemingly proves that Mary had sexual relations after she gave birth to our Savior (yet not even know how many Beatitudes there are or what was Jesus' teaching on Christians "outside" of The Church is), then it's evident that their priorities are clearly in the wrong place.

Who is it that protects Mary in the book of Revelation?
And who is it that attacks her?
That's some pretty serious stuff.

She's one of the few characters in Biblical history that was ever personally addressed by one of God's angels. For this reason, Muslims revere her as a Prophetess because God spoke directly to her through The Archangel Gabriel. |

Cepha, in Revelation 12, remember who attacks Mary? The dragon, who is Satan.
The place prepared for her where she is protected is, I believe, the Church.
I'm just saying that if anyone is found attacking Mary, they are on the side of the dragon in Revelation 12!

You never hear an accurate interpretation of Rev. 12 from protestants...gee I wonder why?
I was so brainwashed to not think about Mary any more than necessary, that I didn't even consider that Rev. 12 could be about her! What's next? Will people say that "Mary" in the BIble isn't real, just symbolic?

Will people say that "Mary" in the BIble isn't real, just symbolic? teresa I believe that the main reason they don't want to even consider Mary is because she is a Catholic object of affection. Anything Catholic in their eyes has to be wrong. That's why they have to discount anything that is remotely Catholic (take the canonization of The Holy Bible for example). If they were to just take an unbiased view of her place and role in our salvation, then they'd love her like they love Esther. Maybe they'd even make a movie about her like they did about Esther and have classes on her like they do on Esther. Esther is their Mary. Not all of them, but the most rabid anti-Catholics'. They are missing out on so much. I've seen some Catholics go overboard and actually place Mary over Jesus or God. I've never agreed with that. And I am especially proud that The Church doesn't accept this behavior. A true Catholic knows the bouderies. It's ok to love her as if she is our own mother because she is. But when some replace Jesus or God with her (just like when some ignore God The Father and The Holy Spirit and only worship Jesus alone), then the purpose of their work is fruitless. |

"What do Satan and Anti-Catholics have in common? They can't stand to hear Catholics speak lovingly of Mary." |

You want to see an Anti-Catholics charity fly out the window?
Say the word "mary".
You can literally see their fact contort into demonic faces.
It's actually scary when you see the look they get in their eyes.
