One of the great tragedies of modern Romanism is just here: true peace is found solely in the perfect, once-for-all, completed work of Jesus Christ. "Having been justified by faith, we have PEACE through our Lord Jesus Christ" (Romans 5:1). Peace with God allows us to have peace with our fellow human beings who likewise have been reconciled to their Creator. Rome has no finished work. Rome has no non-imputation of sin. Hence Rome has no peace to offer. Instead, Rome directs you to...Mary. A blessed, but redeemed, servant of God who, thankfully, has no idea people on earth are praying to her (it would break her heart). Mary has no capacity to bring you peace, no ability to impact the sovereign decree of God. Her hands are busy in the worship of her God, she would recoil in horror at the idea of you placing your soul in her hands. She is not Queen of Peace. We have one King of Peace, Jesus: He needs no others.

@HwsEleutheroi Geez, guess Catholics shouldn't work for peace because they don't interpret a few Bible verses the same way as you. Blessed are the peacemakers for THEY WILL be called sons of God.
@HwsEleutheroi James White fundamentally believes the Body of Christ is severed by death, the very thing Christ conquered. Shocking.
@HwsEleutheroi So sad how many billions of people who are being led to hell
@HwsEleutheroi There is no such thing as the perfect completed work of Jesus Christ.
@HwsEleutheroi Sectarian hatred is one of the best proofs that religion is man-made.
@HwsEleutheroi This idolatry. Rome demotes Christ and undermines the redemptive work accomplished by Christ on the cross. Francis doesn't even know what he believes, it seems, and those who are decieved by RC don't either.
@HwsEleutheroi After all their catechism literally states, "After speaking of the Church, her origin, mission, and destiny, we can find no better way to conclude than by looking to Mary." Crazy.
