"We must perform all our actions for Mary, which means that as slaves of this noble Queen we will work only for her, promoting her interests and her high renown, and making this the first aim in all our acts, while the glory of God will always be our final end. In everything we must renounce self- love because more often than not, without our being aware of it, selfishness sets itself up as the end of all we work for. We should often repeat from the depths of our heart: 'Dear Mother, it is to please you that I go here or there, that I do this or that, that I suffer this pain or this injury.'" St. Louis Marie DE Montfort, in The Secret of Mary, #49.

The Virgin Mary, mother of Jesus, is considered the Queen of Heaven, the intercessor of prayers, among other many titles, but the official teaching of the RC Church don't call her God. The only God they believe in is God the Father, God the Son (Jesus) and Holy Spirit (Holy Trinity).
Mary is not the God of Roman Catholicism as you put it. We worship the trinity. You stated that you were an Ex Catholic. If so you would have known that. I do not think you ever were Catholic. I have difficulty believing you are any kind of Christian.
Should we address you as Chris? it is the name in your pulse.
There is only one way. It is God through His Son Jesus Christ. there is no mentioning of Mary in that way. roman catholic has being the main deceiver in the history of Christianity.
Mary is Isis.... from the Egyptian religions. Isis was very popular in ancient Rome as well - perhaps because many of their gods were male. And Romans loved the idea of an imported female goddess. There is a great example of an Isis Temple at Pompeii.
So as the old gods were dying and Christianity was coming in, the idea of Mary got stuck on Isis - wife of god, mother of god.
A. was born perfect (immaculate)
B. She is the queen of heaven
C. She never died
D We should pray to her ten times more than to the Father (the Rosary)
If you read the rest of that whole thing (which I scanned, and saw nothing offensive), you'll see that it isn't elevating Mary to the status of God... it's simply elevating Mary to the status of a human we should look to as the embodiment of God's grace. Salvation did enter the world through Mary. She was chosen by God, among all women, to bear His Son. If that doesn't make her special, I don't know what would!
All European Based Christian Sects who celebrate Christmas on Dec 25 are splinters of the Catholic Church.
The Catholics ended in Rome after a splinter with the Greek Orthodox.
So those who denounce the Catholic Church as being non-Christian are denouncing their sect's connection to the events during Biblical times and denouncing the very Church who brought Christianity to Europe.
Mary is the Mother of God. We also call her the Queen of Heaven. She is addressed in Prayer as such
Hail Holy Queen etc. She is not our God as you suggest.
No, Yahweh, also referred to as "The Holy Trinity" is the God of Catholics.
I am to rm between the passages you ripped out, pasted here out of contexts, and the passages I read on the website you linked to that say ;
"Chosen soul, living image of God and redeemed by the precious blood of Jesus Christ, God wants you to become holy like him in this life, and glorious like him in the next "
