"Membership in the
Militia means complete dedication to the Kingdom of God and to the
salvation of souls through Mary Immaculate." -Pope John Paul II
"We have an advocate in
Mary that the father, Son, and Holy Spirit cannot say no to. It is
impossible for them to say no to her! -Fr. Stephan Scheier
Pope John Paull II
has 'dedicated himself and his Pontificate to Our Lady.' He bears
the letter "M" for Mary in his coat of arms. And his personal
motto, which is embroidered on the side of his robes in Latin is the
following: "TOTUS TUUS SUM MARIA", which in English
translates to: "MARY, I'M ALL YOURS."
For those that think the
"Totus Tuus Sum Maria" is a fictitious proclamation of Pope
John Paul II, see this excerpt from a Los Angeles Times News
Article.
"By awarding the Virgin a central
place in the cathedral's narrative, the archdiocese is keeping faith
with a long, if fluctuating, Catholic and Orthodox tradition of devotion
to Our Lady, a tradition enjoying a resurgence under Pope John Paul II.
(The pope's personal motto, "Totus tuus sum, Maria," or
"I am all yours, Mary,"
reflects his belief that the
Virgin intervened to save his life from an assassin's bullet in 1981 so
that he could help defeat European communism.)" -LATIMES.com Sept

JOHNSON, Times Staff Writer (Click

Also notice the official "Coat of Arms" of John Paul II...
I got this pic off the Vatican website.
Notice the huge letter "M" signifying John Paul II's desire to
glorify MARY as his god in his pontificate.

The following table compares the Mary of
Roman Catholic theology and religious practice with the Biblical
portrayal of Mary and with the goddess which is worshipped by Wiccans
and modern pagans. My information about Wicca comes from the book
"Wicca: Satan's Little White Lie" by Bill Schnoebelen (who was
the high priest of a Wiccan coven before he became a Christian), the
"World Book," the on-line version of "The Encyclopedia
Brittanica," and numerous web sites.

BIBLICAL
MARY
|
CATHOLIC
MARY
|
THE GODDESS
|
|
Humble
and obedient. Calls herself "the handmaid of the
Lord."
|
The Pope
officially gave Mary the title "Queen of Heaven" and
established a feast day honoring Mary, Queen of Heaven.
|
Wiccans
call their goddess the "Queen of Heaven".
|
|
Knew she
needed a savior: "And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my
saviour." (Luke 1:47)
|
"Immaculate
Conception" (Mary was conceived sinless, without original
sin) and "All-Holy" (Mary lived a sinless life).
|
Goddesses
don't need salvation. They make the rules.
|
|
Normal
wife and mother who had other children.
|
"Perpetual
Virginity" (Jesus' brothers and sisters are considered to
be cousins).
|
Goddesses
don't have human children.
|
|
No
biblical evidence that Mary didn't die like a normal person.
|
"Glorious
Assumption" (Mary was bodily taken up into Heaven).
|
Goddesses
don't die.
|
|
Jesus
told John to take Mary into his home and take care of her as if
she was his own mother.
|
Catholics
are the adopted children of Mary. "Woman behold your
son" (John 19:26) is taken to apply literally to every
Catholic.
|
Witches
are the adopted, "hidden children" of the Queen of
Heaven.
|
|
Normal
woman.
|
Sometimes
pictured standing on a crescent moon, wearing a crown or with a
circle of stars around her head.
|
Moon
goddess.
|
|
Normal
woman.
|
Supernatural
(apparitions accompanied by miracles and healings).
|
Supernatural.
|
|
Points
people to Jesus. Mary said, "Whatsoever he saith unto you,
do it." (John 2:5)
|
Can make
Jesus do things. A full page newspaper ad showing Mary and Jesus
says, "He hasn't denied her anything in 2,000 years. What
would you have her ask Him?" This is not official Catholic
doctrine but it is a widespread attitude which is encouraged by
pious literature.
|
Points to
herself.
Wants to
be worshipped.
|
|
Knew that
she needed a savior. (Luke 1:47)
|
Apparitions
of "Mary" have promised that if people wear certain
objects (such as a Scapular or Miraculous Medal) or say certain
prayers then they are guaranteed to go to Heaven. The Catholic
Church has not officially approved of these practices, but it
has also not discouraged them.
|
Invoked
to make supernatural things happen through witchcraft (the use
of special objects and special verbal formulas).
Goddesses
don't need a savior.

 Roman
Catholic Cardinal Gibbons said...
"Do you ask me, is Mary willing to
assist you? Does she really take an interest in your welfare? Or
is she so much absorbed by the fruition of God as to be
indifferent to our miseries? "Can a woman forget her infant so as
not to have pity on the fruit of her womb"? (Isaiah 49:15), Even
so Mary will not forget us" "Faith
of our Fathers, By Cardinal James Gibbons, Archbishop of Baltimore,
page 225, 1893 edition.
Let's see what Isaiah really says:
"Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have
compassion on the son of her womb? YEA, they may forget, Yet I
will not forget thee" Isaiah 49:15
A Roman Catholic Cardinal openly twists the Word of God why? Because he
knows that if he plays the odds right MOST Catholics won't open their
Bibles to verify what he said. They are taught not to open Bibles and if
they do they are taught not to trust them.
