Mary

HTML

 PDF Al Cielo Por Los Diez Mandamientos? Capitulo 4: El Inmaculado
AUTHORS:  Knott, Carlos Tomas
Who is the only person who has ever kept all 10 commandments? Has the Catholic Church given to Mary titles and descriptions that belong only to Christ? The glory of the authentic Gospel is that God has done all the work of salvation and does not call upon people to “do,” but rather to repent of their dead works and religion and trust in the One who has “done” it all!
Mary

PDF Catholic and Occult View of Mary
AUTHORS:  Ankerberg, Dr. John/ Weldon, Dr. John
This article looks at what the Roman Catholic Church teaches about Mary, and compares that with what the Bible tells us. The authors also examine the messages in the “Marian apparitions”—appearances of “Mary” to various people throughout the world.

 PDF Christ’s Work of Redemption is Finished, Not Continuing

Mass

 PDF The Sacrifice of the Mass—Blessing or Bondage?
AUTHORS:  Gendron, Mike
