Easter: The Dangerously Mistaken Role of Mary

Here is a letter addressed by the Pope Pius X to the bishops of the world and an apostolic letter from Pope Benedict XV, both from this century. 

• “As a result of this union of suffering and willing between Mary and Christ, 
• she most deservedly merited to be the restorer of the lost world and therefore the dispenser of all gifts that Jesus has won for us with his death and his blood.... 
• She is holier than all and more closely united with Christ, and as he has chosen her as his associate for the work of human salvation. 
• She is the principal agent in distributing graces.” 

“As [Mary] suffered and almost died together with her suffering and dying Son, 

• so she surrendered her mother’s rights over her Son for the salvation of the human race. 
• And to satisfy the justice of God she sacrificed her Son, as well as she could, 
• so that it may justly be said that she together with Christ has redeemed the human race.” 

Although the church of Rome declares that Jesus is the only Savior, yet their doctrine contradicts this. 

• Mary is Christ’s associate. 
• One is not saved by Christ alone, 
• but also through the mediation of Mary who applies or distributes the merits of Christ. 

Such statements are nothing less than a denial of the all-sufficiency of Christ.
