N is not biblical.
The documents of Vatican II and Catechsim refer to Mary as the co-mediator with Christ, co-redemtrix.
That to me is almost the same as does the 4 th member of the Trinity and that is wrong.

The Catholic Church sees Jesus for eternal salvation.
Mary is the Mother of Jesus and the Mother of the Church. She prays to Jesus in all our behalves, like all the saints in heaven.

No. Mary was the blessed mother of Jesus, but not divine. She plays no role in salvation.

If you are going to quote the Catechism for the Catholic Church expects to save, you should read the following:
125 The Gospels are the heart of all the Scriptures "because they are our primary source for life and teaching of the Incarnate Word, our Savior."
457 The Word became flesh for us to save us from reconciliation with God, who "loved us and sent his Son to be the expiation for our sins": "the Father sent his Son as the Savior of the World" , and "it was revealed to remove the sins":
2096 Adoration is the first act of the virtue of religion. To worship God is to acknowledge God as Creator and Savior, Lord and Master of all that exists, as infinite and merciful Love.
1181 A church, a house of prayer in which the Eucharist is celebrated and reserved, where the faithful assemble, and where they worship the presence of the Son of God our Savior
437 To the shepherds, the angel announced the birth of Jesus as the Messiah promised to Israel: "To be born today in the city of David a Savior which is Christ the Lord."
389 The doctrine of original sin is, so to speak, the "back" of the Good News that Jesus is the Savior of all men, that all need salvation and that salvation is offered to all through Christ.
2812 Finally, in the name of Jesus, the Holy One of God is revealed and given to us in the flesh, as Savior, revealed for what it is, by his word, and his sacrifice.
594 Jesus performed acts, such as the forgiveness of sins, to be told the same God Salvador
1323 "The Last Supper on the night he was betrayed, our Savior instituted the Eucharistic sacrifice of his Body and Blood.
528 The Epiphany is the manifestation of Jesus as Messiah of Israel, Son of God and Savior of the world.
From these and many other citations, it is clear that the Catholic Church teaches that Jesus, Mary is not the savior of the world

One of the things that many Protestants do not understand about Catholicism is that Catholics do not believe in Protestant doctrine soloscriptura. In the Catholic Church teachings and traditions of the church are equal in authority to Scripture. Please understand that I am not being critical of the Catholic Church here, I just pointed out the difference.

Catholics honor Mary for her to Christ in our lives. They do not look at themselves for the salvation of Jesus, they look to her to intercede on his behalf to Jesus for salvation. Big difference.

I could not see my car asking Mary save me from my sins. Just seems so wrong. For me it is nothing more than an idol, and God wants us to worship idols. It is curious that the whole basis of religion around him and the New Testament is hardly spoken. Teach children that will bring them salvation is bad law. But what I know I am only a Christian. (ha ha)! LOL

The Catholic Church does not want people looking for their place of Jesus to Mary.
Being obedient she (Mary) became cause of salvation for herself and the entire human race. "This is a biblical truth.
Being obedient + = say yes to God's will
+ She (Mary) became the cause of salvation = Mary became the mother of Jesus Christ, our savior.
"The manifold intercession of Mary is only the continuous prayer of intercession to God for us.
Santos + +
We share the view of Catholics in the Communion of Saints with many other Christians, including Eastern Orthodox, Anglican, Episcopal and Methodist Churches.
The Communion of Saints is the belief that all saints are intimately related in the Body of Christ, a family. When it dies and goes to heaven, do not let this family.
Everyone in heaven or on their way to heaven are saints. You, me, my deceased grandmother, Mary, the mother of Jesus, and Mother Teresa.
As part of this family, you can ask your friends and family here on earth to pray for you. You can also ask the Blessed Virgin Mary, St. Andrew, or your deceased grandmother in heaven to pray for you.
Prayer to the saints is communication, not worship.
+ + The Blessed Virgin Mary
"Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee" (Luke 1:28)
"Blessed are you among women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb "(Luke 1:42).
In Luke 1:48, Mary prophesied, "From now on all generations will call me blessed."
A question for Christians who take the Bible literally: Do you call Mary "blessed"? If not, why?
The Hail Mary prayer simply recites passages from the Bible (the Word of God) and asks Mary to pray for us:
Hail Mary full of grace, the Lord is with you. (These are the words that the angel Gabriel said to Mary, a Bible quote.)
Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. (This is Mary's cousin Elizabeth's greeting, another biblical quotation.)
Santa Maria, (The angel Gabriel said he was full of grace and Elizabeth says he was blessed.)
Mother of God (the Bible says that Mary is the mother of Jesus Christ, the Son of God)
Pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. (A simple request to pray for us.)
Amen.
+ With love in Christ.

"instead of Jesus? Do not know what you're talking about. I was never instructed to do so. Perhaps the catechesis that was somewhat different from the traditional teachings had. Or are you "self"? . Good luck.
