Edge,
I was also surprised by the response. There are a lot of endurance tests on the mothers blessed contribution to salvation, but the way he / she reads the answer is wrong. We can come to Jesus through the Blessed Virgin, but it's certainly not the only or even the preferred way. We are called to love one another through prayer that is what the Mother of God does for us, but we can pray to God. The prayers of the saints are only complements our prayers directly to God. Ask the saints, pray for us, is an optional practice for Catholics. Honoring the saints are not. God bless!
In Christ

Not in the Bible. Who says it may have been talking about the sacred tradition that Catholics see themselves as equal in power of revelation, as the Bible.
At the foot of the cross in the Gospel of John, Jesus told Mary, "This [John] is his son." And He said to John, "this [Mary] is your mother."
The church interprets that to mean that Jesus was Mary, the spiritual mother of all Christians. Maybe that's what the poster was talking about.

I do not know if this is a biblical statement or not. I would say that makes sense. If I were alone, my mother and my father would be the center of my life. Being the incarnation of God, his love for his mother, would exceed anything we can imagine. In her honor, one could say that the way for me is through my mother. It is understandable to me.

What is said does not represent Catholic Catholic religion or its' teachings. I'm Catholic and I can assure you that is not taught in our religion that is the way of Jesus through Mother Mary. Someone has been misinformed or someone is pulling your leg.

Not in the Bible.
The Bible says that Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life: no man cometh to the Father except through me (Jesus). In the book of John.
The other is not in the Bible and makes no sense. Why be the way to Jesus through a human woman, not unlike what he did or I???? Think about it …

This refers to the wedding at Cana, when Mary interceded for story the young couple without wine enough. Now, do not say that "refers to" not enough when all love to pick on the "rapture" that vow to be "referred" to the right, but not outside.
Edge: Do you know what we think or are you just using this as a platform to preach?
you know what - I know how to reach a Fundamentalist Church if he would listen to such heretical garbage

He is not there in the Bible, this is a Catholic tradition,
and the soldier of Christ, if Jesus had said, would be in the Bible

It says nothing about that in the New Testament.

Soldier of Christ is clearly a Catholic novice. lol
Because Jesus never said that the way to him is through his mother. The way to him, is through Him with the Holy Spirit. lol
