Forgive me for any confusion I may be experiencing here, but the following two statements seem to be somewhat contradictory. Who is correct? Who is teaching true Catholic doctrine here...the Pope or @epostle1 ? Or are they in some way both correct? Please explain someone.
“All our hope do we repose in the Most Blessed Virgin, in the all-fair and immaculate one who has crushed the most cruel serpent’s poisonous head and brought salvation to the world.” (Pius IX: Apost. Const., Ineffabilis Deus, December 8, 1854.) — [p. 18, no. 39]
“None, O Mother of God, obtains salvation except through thee, none receives a gift from the throne of mercy except through thee.” (Leo XIII: Adiutricem populi, September 5, 1895) — [p. 19, no. 44]
Catholics approach Jesus without the need of an intercessor in liturgy and in private prayer.
