Will This Pope Make Mary Co-Redeemer?
Pressure is mounting on the new Pope Benedict XVI to “infallibly” declare the Roman Catholic Virgin Mary as “co-redemptrix, with Jesus the Redeemer, Mediatrix of all graces with Jesus the one Mediator, and Advocate with Jesus Christ on behalf of the human race.”
In the fifth century, the popes reasoned that since Jesus was God, Mary must be the “Mother of God” and deserved worship as such. “Immaculate Conception” defines her as without sin from birth, just as Jesus was. The reasoning is that, otherwise, Jesus would have been tainted by Original Sin. “Assumption” declares that she was taken directly into heaven, body and soul, just as Jesus was. Now the push is on to further elevate this false redeemer into a position, for all practical purposes, co-equal with the divine Saviour. She will be in charge of dispensing God’s grace, and standing in for Jesus as mediator and advocate for mankind. Having reduced Jesus to a wafer god stored in a box, the popes have, instead, directed the worship of the precious Roman Catholics to this Virgin Mary goddess. Thus we see the steps taken to elevate the lowly Mary of the Bible to a goddess-like position. For centuries, the Roman Catholic layman has been encouraged to pray to this Virgin Mary goddess instead of directly to God or the Lord Jesus. With this fifth “dogma,” she will have effectively elbowed Jesus aside and assumed the central focus of attention for the one-billion-plus Roman Catholics trapped in the superstition and ignorance of this pagan false church. This is just another step in Rome’s attempt to draw all religions under the pope. Most false religions have a female goddess central in their worship. If they can be persuaded that their goddesses are really this Catholic Virgin Mary, the pope can declare himself the head of all religions, stepping into position as the final anti-christ. Chick Publications has books by more than one author who was once snared by the pope’s deceptions. From seven years old, Dr. Alberto Rivera was trained by Jesuits in secret plans to destroy the Protestant resistance to the advance of Roman Catholicism. These plans are detailed in the seven books in the Alberto Series Crusaders Comics Pack. Another book exposing the deception of the popes is written by Charles Chiniquy, who spent 50 years as a Catholic. He grew up in Catholic home and became a priest. For many years he struggled between being faithful to the pope and obeying the Bible. His bishop demanded that he give up the Bible and submit completely to Roman tradition that contradicted the Bible. Instead, he led his congregation out of bondage to the pope and into freedom in Christ. In spite of many attempts on his life, he was able to detail his struggles in his book, Fifty Years in the Church of Rome. He shows how Roman Catholicism has done the same as the Pharisees, by making the Word of God of none effect by their tradition. (See Mark 7:13.) Other books are also available to help you witness to the precious ones caught in this most subtle of deceptions.
