Some Results of Mary Worship
The Catholic worship of Mary can lead to strange and unbiblical ideas. This was seen in the Nov 7 issue of the 'Pittsburgh Catholic,' in an article titled, "Lecture Series Speaker Shares 'Abundant Life.'"
The article featured an interview with EWTN (American Catholic Television) host Johnnette Benkovic. Speaking about Catholic women and their role as "evangelizers," Mrs. Benkovic quoted Pope Paul VI at the end of the Second Vatican Council:
"That is why, at this moment, when the human race is undergoing so deep a transformation, women impregnated with a spirit of the Gospel can do so much to aid humanity in not falling."
Mrs. Benkovic then expanded on this idea of women being "impregnated with a spirit of the gospel":
"Only a woman can be impregnated...(she is) Created by God to bear physical and spiritual life to the world..."
Mrs. Benkovic is trying to:
1. Convince Catholic women that some kind of "spiritual impregnation" can take place for them. This idea is nothing but a perverted twisting of the Holy Ghost coming upon Mary (Luke 1:35), which was strictly a one-time deal.
2. Blasphemously set up women as bearers of "spiritual life." Only God the Holy Ghost borns people again to new life in Christ. But then, the Roman Church has a history of robbing God of His glory.
"Spiritual impregnation" - what a hellish notion - it sounds like something straight out of that devilish movie, 'Rosemary's Baby.' If Catholic women want to become "spiritually pregnant," sadly, the devil will be more than happy to oblige them.
May God free many Catholics from such wickedness. May they repent of the sin of Catholicism, and be born again by the Holy Ghost ALONE to faith in Christ ALONE.
