Has The Catholic Mary Been Made Equal With The Lord Jesus Christ?

The message of the gospel is that the Lord Jesus Christ is our comforter. He is our only Advocate. He is our only mediator, our only redeemer and our only Savior!
 
Jesus is the only way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father but thru Him! The Catholic Church has taken many titles and attributes of Jesus Christ and applied those things to Mary.
 
The Bible says Jesus was sinless.
     Catholicism says Mary was sinless.
 
The Bible says Jesus is our king.
     Catholicism says Mary is queen.
 
The Bible says Jesus is our savior.
     Catholicism says Mary is co-savior.
 
The Bible says Jesus is our mediator.
     Catholicism says Mary is co-mediatrix.
 
The Bible says Jesus is our advocate.
     Catholicism says Mary is co-advocate.
 
The Bible says Jesus is our redeemer.
     Roman Catholics say Mary is co-redemptrix.
 
The Bible says Jesus is seated at the right of the Father in heaven.
     Catholicism says Mary is seated at the right of her son (Jesus).
 
The Bible says Jesus is the way to the Father that one can come to the Father except through him.
     Catholicism says “Mary is the gate to heaven” even going as far as saying: “No one can enter into heaven except through Mary, as entering through a gate.” – St. Bonaventure
 
When we honestly look at this heavily modified and extremely exalted version of Mary, we must admit that this isn’t veneration. It is far more than that. It is putting another being in God’s place. Catholics have replaced the Lord Jesus Christ with their version of “Mary” – a version of Mary who has the attributes of a goddess! And Catholics see nothing wrong with this. They are so indoctrinated by their church that all they need to be told by their religion is that they are not worshiping Mary… they are venerating or honoring or adoring her. And they never make the connection between how they highly exalt Mary (a created being) with how they treat Jesus (a Divine being). This behavior by Catholics is telling God that Jesus is not enough. May God have Mercy on all who replace Jesus with this non-existent highly exalted version of Mary. — RM Kane
