POPE FRANCIS DECLARES THAT MAY IS THE ‘MONTH OF MARY’, COMMANDS ALL CATHOLICS EVERYWHERE TO ‘ENTRUST THEMSELVES’ TO HER FOR PROTECTION
NTEB:
In many countries May is the month of Mary. May the Mother of God accompany us and protect Christians in fighting against the forces of evil. Let us entrust ourselves to her and pray for the Church and for peace in the world.
Pope Francis today on Twitter took time out to remind Catholics around the world that Mary is their protector, their life, their light. He reminded Catholics that Mary is the ‘queen of the month of May’, and told them to put thier lives in her hands. This is not ‘respect’ or ‘veneration’, this is old-fashioned idol worship, it is Roman Catholic doctrine and teaching, and it was what I was taught as a Catholic growing up.
Catholics don’t worship Mary, you say? It’s only ‘veneration’, is it? Don’t kid me, man, go kid your grandma, I was there.
“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)
How well I remember going to my 12 years of Catholic school how special the month of May was. May was the month where all the school kids gathered outside in front of an idol of the Virgin Mary, decorated it with flowers, and professed our undying devotion to, not Jesus, but to the Roman Catholic ‘mary’ who we were told was ‘our everything’. Mary was the ‘queen of heaven’, the nuns instructed us, and she was the one that heard our prayers and made sure they got answered. Mary was in charge. Not Jesus.
See why the Mary of Rome is not the Mary of the Bible.
