Our 249 page book. In it you will read: (1) The present-day official position of Catholicism on Mary and (2) What the Bible says about this. This book is not an attack on the Mary of the Bible. Instead you are being shown that the Mary of the Bible is not the Mary of Catholicism.

In our day, part of the problem with false doctrine is to get it to reveal itself clearly. By this I mean, that whatever false religious system we are talking about, often it is hard to get the people in the know to admit what they really believe. By denying or modifying their real beliefs the deception is harder to refute and precious souls remain endangered.

One is doomed to eternal condemnation in hell if he is anathematized. There are true and false anathemas. Which should the Christian be concerned about?

Here is an actual email from a Catholic on the importance of the Eucharist (Catholic communion) to her. Her exalted view of the Eucharist is typical among Catholics. To some it is more important than Mary! Especially the response is important to read, verify with Scripture and remember.

A recent healing miracle has led to the possibility of the first America Indian saint in the Catholic Church, that is, if the Vatican decides to canonize her!

Please ponder this prayer and it will become apparent how darkened and deceived Augustine really was.

One of the chief arguments Catholics submit in defense of their veneration and praise for Mary is the following one.

It is not too uncommon to hear of weeping Mary statues. In fact, there are thousands of weeping Mary statue reports every year, with many being frauds.

The Roman Catholic church has fabricated a Mary, which in many cases is a carbon copy, a very close resemblance or an exaltation of her to the point of canceling the Lord Jesus out of what he has uniquely accomplished for us.

We can better understand the real Mary, the mother of the Lord Jesus, and her significance in various spiritual areas by examining the several times that she spoke.

The Catholic church has given hundreds, even thousands of titles to Mary the Mother of Jesus. Of all of them, Mother of God is one of the most common.

It seems somewhat common for false teachers to flatly deny the very teachings they believe when it is convenient to do such.

What we are being told is these 15 promises came through a vision of Mary that the Catholic Saint, Dominic, and Blessed Alan received in the 13th century. These promises which came from the Mary of Catholicism (which is not the Mary of the Bible) are for all who faithfully pray the Rosary.

Dan Corner sent this email to Patrick Madrid challenging him to a text debate on the subject of Mary's role in salvation.

Alphonsus Mary Liguori is a well-known, respected figure and influential Catholic Bishop of the past. His teachings have been available for over 250 years.

Below is one such critical and condemning appraisal by an upset Catholic. These objections are somewhat typical and the best answers many Catholics can give. Afterwards are my comments.

Many non-Catholics have never really studied Mary with admiration. Let’s take a look at the real Mary of the Bible.

What you have claimed for yourself, all other Catholics can also claim, since Catholicism teaches one is born again at infant baptism.

I have noticed over the years how various cults tend to deny, at times, their own teachings that they cherish. It seems they do this to help make their religion seem more Christian and acceptable than it actually is, especially when conversing with a possible convert or one that has influence.

Testimony: From Catholicism, drug addictions and jail to Christ.

This movie is filled with bible truth but also mixes in some dangerous ideas about Mary.

Why have people been returning to Catholicism?

Just how important is Mary to many Catholics and Catholicism as a whole?

The Immaculate Conception is a Catholic term that many have heard of, but few are informed about. Wrongly, many think the immaculate conception refers to Jesus’ conception. The truth is this 1854 Catholic proclamation states that Mary was immaculately conceived and redeemed in her mother’s womb and remained sinless her whole life through.

The following is an email from a disturbed Catholic regarding Mary. If so-called Protestants would read this email closely, they will notice the way she has been taught about her life, sweetness and hope, as declared in the Rosary and elsewhere. (First is her actual email and our response afterward.)

The one and only precious Lord Jesus who conquered death, the grave and defeated the devil taught about living forever and never dying on at least four different occasions. He gave us his word on how we can have this sought-after experience.

These quotes and prayers to Mary help to reinforce the overall present-day picture Catholicisism projects about Mary.

Does baptism save?

There are no Scriptures that show infants being baptized or a command suggesting this.

Certainly, one sure way to know the official position of Roman Catholicism on Mary, besides going to Vatican Council II and The Catechism of the Catholic Church, is to go to the pope himself.

In harmony with our apostate day there are different influential so-called Bible teachers describing the deceased Pope John Paul II in such a way that the uninformed might think he was a great Christian leader.

The primary message spread by the Lord Himself and his followers was to go directly to Jesus Himself, place a submissive-obedient faith and trust in him and continue [endure] to the end for salvation. It is very easy to see why we are directed by God to do this after noting the various ways the Lord Jesus is described by his many names and titles. Each refers to yet another important place or position that Jesus holds in God’s plan for man’s salvation.

In our day, we hear much about unity. Some of this is good, but most of it is bad. The true, Biblical unity is something we Christians need to strive for.

According to the Catholic church, the Virgin Mary appeared at Fatima, Portugal numerous times in 1917 to three little shepherds named Lucia, Francisco and Jacinta.

Certainly, one of the most important titles ascribed to Mary by Catholicism is the Mother of the Church.

Must one be a Roman Catholic to have salvation, according to their own official teachings before Vatican Council II? While many RC since Vatican Council II will deny this, nonetheless, this is still their own clear doctrine set forth by Pope Boniface VIII in his Bull, Unam Sanctam in 1302. The following is what he wrote ex cathedra.

Much confusion exists regarding the beliefs of present-day Catholicism, especially since Vatican Council II.

This article is an eye-opener regarding their teachings on "Mary."

A Christian responds to these teachings.

There cannot be deception apart from a deceiver and therefore there cannot be counterfeit Christianity apart from a counterfeit Christian. One of the clearest examples of a counterfeit Christian on today's scene is Mother Teresa.

When one reads through the book of Revelation, he can easily see that the terminal generation of this age will see and/or personally experience the effects of war, famine, martyrdom, gross sin and deceit through Satanic miracles! Unfortunately, many in our day don't recognize that miracles do come through two sources -- God and the devil!

Vatican Council II, the most recent Roman Catholic Council, which closed on December 8, 1965, is the current official stand of Roman Catholicism. These statements can be verified by consulting volumes 1 and 2 of the book, Vatican Council II printed by Costello Publishing Co., Northport, New York. Austin Flannery, O. P., is the general editor and each volume contains the Nihil Obstat and the Imprimatur.

Many people in our day, decades after Vatican Council II, wrongly think the Catholic Church is changing its teachings. This is NOT true! The Mass has been changed from Latin to English. However, the meaning of the Mass today is identical to its meaning in the days before the dawn of the Protestant reformation.

Among those who agree that Mary was a virgin, when she gave birth to the Lord Jesus, there arises a controversy, that being: Did she stay a virgin after Jesus was born? Let's go to the Scriptures to find the answer.

Papal infallibility is one of the great differences between Catholicism and Protestantism. Very few seem to be aware of the awesome implications of this Catholic dogma. Hopefully, this brief summary will illuminate them.

Catholicism equates Jn. 6:53, "I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you" to communion, and thereby logically deduces that one must have it for spiritual life (or salvation).

Nearly a billion people around the world believe that St. Peter was the first pope, the chief of the apostles, and was given the "keys" to the Kingdom. The chief reason is the way Catholicism interprets the following verse: "And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it" (Mt. 16:18).

Because so much controversy exists over present- day Catholicism and its changes since Vatican Council II, a need exists to clarify what and how significant these changes are.

Contained in the Catholic Bible, but omitted in the Protestant Bibles, is a set of books called the Apocrypha. One of those books is 2 Maccabees. This particular Apocryphal book is very important and often cited to justify the Catholic doctrine of Purgatory -- praying for the dead.
