Do you think that the existence of a painting with 8 corners on a star is proof that catholic teaching about mary is idolatry? I explained that Mary is not viewed as being at the level of God but you persist. You clearly have no interest in understanding the very simple true teachings about Mary that are entirely based on biblical accounts.
You think a sign and a painting are proof that the church is wrong, as you proclaim something about Mary that the church does not teach.
You are deceived. And you enjoy your deception because it allows you to judge. Snap out if it.
And you still haven't addressed this statement made by Pope John Paul II. You claim he didn't support redistribution of wealth, even though he said the right to common use is greater than the right to private property.
Christian tradition has never recognized the right to private property as absolute and untouchable: ‘On the contrary, it has always understood this right within the broader context of the right common to all to use the goods of the whole of creation: the right to private property is subordinated to the right to common use, to the fact that goods are meant for everyone.
No, the bible speaks against baking cakes/offering sacrifice to worship the queen of heaven, hundreds of years before Mary was born. I’m sorry, but you are looking for something to be mad about and you are holding on so tightly to this bias you’re so desperate to not correct that you cannot see how silly your misunderstanding is.
Does the Church teach that Mary is Ishtar? What does the church teach about Mary that suggests that the church puts Mary at the same level as God? You are looking at occult usurpation of spiritual concepts and descending into a dualistic labyrinth.
You completely misunderstand the encyclical; we can get to that once you are able to acknowledge the more important error that yiu are making in your false claims about what the church teaches about Mary, the Ark of the New Covenant, the Mother of God Incarnate, the destroyer of the serpent and the queen of heaven (since in hebrew tradition the mother, not the wife, of the king is the queen).
The Queen of Heaven is not a title one should give to the mother of Jesus, as the Bible condemns that title.
The Roman Catholic Church teaches Mary is the co-redemptrix, which means she's essential for the redemption of humanity.
This is the same claim the Babylonians made in regards to Ishtar/Inanna/Ashtoreth.
The Roman Catholic Church teaches Mary is the mediatrix, which is a woman who is a mediator.
The Bible says otherwise.
1 Timothy 2:5For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
And we don't need a mediator between ourselves and Jesus.
Romans 8:35-39
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
The Roman Catholic Church teaches Mary is the advocate, and states tradition is greater than the Word of God, which says otherwise.
1 John 2:1-3
1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
And it's obvious you have no answer about Pope John Paul II, and your insistence I must agree with you about Mary before you lie about what Pope John Paul II really meant is quite telling. Your username is the only honest thing about you in this thread.
Why can't you answer any of my questions?
Here's a painting of the Virgin Mary with an 8-pointed star on her chest,
It's the same 8-pointed star which represented the goddess Ishtar AKA Ashtoreth.
That same 8-pointed star is found on the famous sign "Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada."
P.S. I don't hate you just because I believe you're deceived and I'm not threatened by your beliefs in Mary either.

August 22 is the Roman Catholic feast day of the Queen of Heaven.
The Bible speaks against the Queen of Heaven.
The 8-point star is the star of Ishtar.
Here's another statue of the Queen of Heaven with her 8-point star.
And here's a Christmas ornament sold by a Catholic charity with the same 8-pointed star motif.
And Ishtar also was represented by a crescent moon.
Is there any wonder the Virgin Mary also has statues made of her by the Catholics which incorporate that symbol as well?
