The Many Faces of Mary
The Roman Catholic Diocese of Cleveland, Ohio is presenting an art exhibit this week titled, 'Many Faces of Mary.' Nearly 200 pieces of "art" are displayed to help, as the diocesan newspaper, the 'Catholic Universe Bulletin,' says, "people appreciate each other's experience of Mary." However, never has so much sin been packed into one "art" event.
1. It encourages Mary worship. In describing one of her paintings, artist Peggy Stanton said, "I wanted to portray her (Mary) as the strong protectress of society." Ah, my Roman readers, this sounds a little more high-powered than the old and worn-out, "we only ask Mary to intercede," line.
2. The second commandment in Exodus 20:4, "THOU SHALT NOT MAKE UNTO THEE ANY GRAVEN IMAGE," (which is conveniently omitted from Catholic catechisms) is broken many times over. The article also shows a picture of Jesus blasphemously portrayed in one sculpture as a naked, bare-bottom exposed three year old at the knees of Mary (she has clothes on.)
3. Cleveland bishop Anthony Pilla, the driving force behind this event, just happens to have his own water color submitted in this exhibit. Hmmmm....a suspicious person might think "His Excellency" set this whole show up just in order for him to display his own graven image!
4. The article also detailed how Mrs. Stanton got the idea for another painting. "The inspiration for the work came from her career as a correspondent for ABC," and, "subsequent travels with her husband...an official with the World Bank." ABC News and the World Bank! Such ungodly "inspiration" led her to paint, 'Mother of the Developing Nations,' with Mary and a baby Jesus very politically correctly portrayed as black Africans.
5. "Appreciate each other's experience of Mary." These people can all "appreciate," but not test, "each other's experience." Rome loves "experience" because it has no foundation, and cannot be tested by other "experiences." This is why Rome hates the sure and never-changing foundation of the word of God - because the BIBLE says in 1 Thessalonians 5:21, "PROVE ALL THINGS; HOLD FAST THAT WHICH IS GOOD." Like the scattering of cockroaches when a light is turned on, the Roman clergy run for cover whenever their false works are tested and exposed by the light of the BIBLE.
Romanism continues to push Mary worship relentlessly. The adversary knows Mary worship might be the bridge between Rome and Islam. A Catholic writer and Fatima specialist, Francis Johnston, summed it up best in a book he wrote in the mid-70's. Regarding the bringing together of Rome and Islam he said, "We (Rome and Islam) might not be able to agree about Jesus, but we can agree on Mary." May Catholics who will only agree on Jesus ALONE repent of the sin of Catholicism, forsake the Roman Church, and receive Christ by faith ALONE.
