Mary
In 1890, Pope Leo XIII said, "As no man can come to the Most High Father except through the Son, so, generally, no man can come to Christ except through Mary."
On March 22, 1918, Pope Benedict XV said, "She suffered so much for us, almost to the point of dying with her suffering and dying Son. Therefore we may rightfully say that she has, with Christ, redeemed the human race."
In 1954, Pope Pius XIII said, "Mary is indeed worthy to recieve honor and might and glory. She is exalted to hypostatic union with the Blessed trinty."
On St. Stanislaus' Roman Catholic Church, 524 W. Mitchell St., Milwaukee, Wisconsin: "Ascend mortals to this mountain top for here through Mary all shall receive salvation."
Simon de Montford, True Devotion To Mary, commenting upon Genesis 3:15, "God has never made and formed but one enmity; but it is an irreconcilable one. It is between Mary, His worthy Mother and the devil. He has inspired her with so much hatred against that cursed enemy of God, with so much power to crush that proud and impious rebel that he fears her, in a sense, more than God Himself."
Catholics think we dishonor Mary if we don't pray to her. We can say, "I felt very sick last week. In fact, I was so sick that I went down to see the doctor's mother."
