His statement, "which advocates the worship of Mary at that moment," is wrong. No and never have venerated Mary.
The Church takes the teaching of divine revelation - the written word, dubbed the Scripture and the oral or written, known as "Tradition."
The doctrine of Sola Scriptura originated with Martin Luther and was in the 16th century.
Luther's doctrine of "Scripture alone" is a true restoration of biblical truth, or rather the enactment of a person's personal views on the Christian authority.
Luther was passionate about his beliefs, and that was successful in spreading them, but these facts alone do not guarantee that what he taught was correct.
Thus the doctrine of Sola Scriptura originated with Martin Luther
Scripture and tradition are the sources of inspiration for the Christian doctrine, the Church - a historical and visible entity goes back to St. Peter and the apostles in an unbroken succession - is the infallible interpreter and teacher of Christian doctrine.

First, it is contradictory that they accept the Bible and yet reject the authority of the Catholic Church. Naturally, the Christian should not quote the Bible at all, because they have no way of determining which books are inspired, unless, of course, accept the teaching authority of the Catholic Church. Why? Because the Catholic Church compiled the Bible through the Holy Spirit. It is a historical fact that the Catholic Church held the Bible in canonical order, is at present (under the guidance of the Holy Spirit)
Matrin Luther himself admits, "We are obliged to give much to the papists (Catholics) - that have the word of God we have received from them, otherwise we should have known nothing about it." Luther must admit that Christian Bible to the efforts of the Catholic Church.
Along with that, Jesus did not create a church based on "Sola Scripture" (Scripture alone). In fact, the Bible tells us that we need more than the Bible itself. The Bible confirms that not everything that Jesus said and did is recorded in Scripture (John 21:25) and that we must cling to the oral tradition, preached the Word of God (1 Corinthians 11:2, 1 Peter 1:25 ).
Scripture tells us that Christ left a Church with divine authority to govern in his name "(Matthew 16:12-20, 28:19-20, John 14:16). The Bible also tells us that "the sacred tradition that fallow with Scripture."
That said, I can get to how the Church has the authority to make decisions as dogmatic. Here are some Bible verses that are used in support of the authoritative, the Church that Christ established.
Matthew 28:18-20 - Jesus all the powers delegated to the Apostles
John 20:23 - power to forgive sins
1 Corinthians 11:23-24 - to offer the sacrifice
Luke 10:16 - the power to speak with the voice of Christ
Matthew 18:18 - the power to legislate
Matthew 18:17 - the power to discipline
Verse and in support of the Infallible Church
John 16:13 - guided by the Holy Spirit into all truth
John 14:26 - Holy Spirit to teach and remind them of everything
Luke 10:16 - talk with the voice
1 Timothy 3:15 - the church known as the pillar and foundation of truth
Acts 15:28 - Apostles speak with the voice of the Holy Spirit
Matthew 28:20 - I am always with you
St. Irenaeus (200 AD) "ford of the Church, the Spirit of God, and where the spirit of God, the Church and everygrace. The Spirit, however, is true.
We have to rely on dogmatic decisions are made through the power of the Holy Spirit.
CORRECTION: The Catholics do not worship Mary. We venerate her.

(005:116) - AND [Day care] when Allah said: "O Jesus, Son of Mary, I tell people, 'Take me and my mother as gods besides Allah? "He said," You're excited! It was not for me to say that I have no right. If I had said, he would have known. You know what is inside me, and I do not know what is within you. In fact, it is You who is Knower of the Unseen
(005117) - I did not say to them except what You commanded me - to worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord. And I was a witness of them while I was among them, but when you brought me up, You were the Observer over them, and You are, above all, witnesses
(005118) - If you must punish them - indeed, they are your servants, but if You forgive them - indeed, it is that you in fact is the Exalted, the Wise.

Mary is not adored! I am tired of hearing that if you are a Catholic and worship of Mary, is a sin. Mary is an honor and can be prayed to. The Catholic church has not confirmed that she did not die all we know is that he did get to heaven Assumpta. The reason the Catholic church added to his doctrine is that the most studied to find the most answers.

The cult of Mary has never been defended in the history of the Church. We do and have always believed that only God should be worshiped. Mary and the saints are venerated, which means an honor.
The Assumption of Mary, when in fact die. She was assumed body and soul into heaven at that very moment, because God does not want his flesh was corrupted.

>> According to the story, in the year 431, the Council of Ephesus took the word of Mary, Jesus' mother as "Mother of God" and advocated the worship of Mary at that time. <<
Are you quoting the Council of Ephesus to support its assertion that "advocating the cult of Mary at that time?
As for the "Mother of God, even the very anti-Catholic CARM seem to recognize that the denial of this is heresy:
—————
Nestorianism
Nestorianism is the error that Jesus is two different people. Heresy is the name of Nestorius, who was born in Syria and died in 451 AD, who advocated this doctrine. Nestorius was a monk who became the patriarch of Constantinople and repudiated the Marian title "Mother of God." He stated that Mary was the mother of Christ only in regard to their humanity. The Council of Ephesus in 431 was held to address the issue and declared that Jesus was one person in two distinct and inseparable natures: divine and human.
Nestorius was deposed as Patriarch and sent to Antioch, then Arabia, and Egypt. Nestorianism survived until around 1300.
The problem with Nestorianism is that it threatens the atonement. If Jesus was two persons, then that one died on the cross? If this is the "human person", then the atonement is not of divine, and therefore sufficient to cleanse the quality of our sins.http: / / http://www.carm.org / apologetics / heresies …

The Pope is guided by the Holy Spirit who guides the Church The Pope is infallible in these things in relation to church.This is how to obtain these dogmas of faith.Plus not live by the bible only theory we have sacred traditions. Assumption of Mary is getting her redemption.this is Co-Redemption.Also not worship Mary or the saints, this would be a mortal sin. Only worship God.Please read the book of revelation about Mary Queen of Heaven and Earth.

Whoa! No WORSHIP Mary. No.
Mother Angelica is not the Church. First, understand what the Church is saying about Jesus saying what he says about Mary.

these "facts" are not well documented, as ever, and I mean never advocated the worship of Mary.
Jesus said: "As to the least of my brothers you do unto me" we who are in the Body of Christ are all the co-redemtrix
