Why Are Catholics Unable To Admit That, Yes, They Do Pray To Mary As Official Vatican Teaching Commands Them To Do?

Statues of Mary were everywhere you looked, we were taught about the many apparitions of Mary around the world, celebrated Mary on May Day, and give her the top spot in our thoughts and devotions. St. Mary’s school and Roman Catholic Church taught us these things by order of the Vatican

Statues of Mary were everywhere you looked, we were taught about the many apparitions of Mary around the world, celebrated Mary on May Day, and gave her the top spot in our thoughts and devotions. St. Mary’s school and Roman Catholic Church taught us these things by order of the Vatican

In the interest of full disclosure, I was a Catholic for the first 30 years of my life. I was baptized as a baby, received “first holy communion”, was “confirmed”, spent 3 years as an altar boy in St. Mary’s Church in Pompton Lakes, NJ, and in total was educated in the Catholic school system for 12 long years. Part of our Catholic training was learning how to pray to the Virgin Mary. Statues of Mary were everywhere you looked, we were taught about the many apparitions of Mary around the world, celebrated Mary on May Day, and gave her the top spot in our thoughts and devotions. St. Mary’s school and Roman Catholic Church taught us these things by order of the Vatican. Every other Catholic school or church I ever visited in 30 years did likewise. So with all that being said, why am I constantly hearing Catholics denying that they pray to Mary?

“Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” Acts 4:10-12 (KJV)

One reason for this, I suppose, is because prayer to anyone who is not God, who is not part of the Godhead – Father, Son and Holy Spirit –  is blasphemy. So Catholics are taught to play “word games”, ala Bill Clinton, and get you debating the difference between praying to someone and simply “venerating” them. But as you will see below, this is nothing more than linguistic hogwash. Catholics absolutely do pray to Mary, and worst of all, they look to her for salvation!

“Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.” Colossians 2:8,9 (KJB)

CLICK TO READ ABOUT THE DAY THAT MARY WORSHIP BECAME OFFICIAL CHURCH DOCTRINE

But we shall let the words of some of the official, Vatican-approved Catholic prayers to Mary speak for themselves. There are hundreds of Catholic prayers to Mary, I just simply did a search and picked the first 4 at random. Read and decide for yourself:

  • The Memorare To Mary: “REMEMBER, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly to thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother; to thee do I come; before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.” source
  • Prayer to Our Lady of Perpetual Help: “O Mother of Perpetual Help, grant me ever to be able to call upon thy powerful name, since thy name is the help of the living and the salvation of the dying. Ah, Mary most pure, Mary most sweet, grant that thy name from this day forth may be to me the very breath of life. Dear Lady, delay not to come to my assistance whenever I call upon thee; for in all the temptations that assail me, in all the necessities that befall me, I will never leave off calling upon thee, ever repeating: Mary, Mary. What comfort, what sweetness, what confidence, what tenderness fills my soul at the sound of thy name, at the very thought of thee! I give thanks to our Lord, who for my sake hath given thee a name so sweet, so lovable, so mighty. But I am not content merely to speak thy name; I would utter it for very love of thee; it is my desire that love should ever remind me to name thee, Mother of Perpetual Help.” source
  • Hail, Holy Queen: “Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of mercy, our life, our sweetness and our hope! To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve. To thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us and after this our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.” source
  • Prayer To Our Lady, Help Of Christians: “Most Holy Virgin Mary, Help of Christians, how sweet it is to come to your feet imploring your perpetual help. If earthly mothers cease not to remember their children, how can you, the most loving of all mothers forget me? Grant then to me, I implore you,  your perpetual help in all my necessities, in every sorrow, and especially in all my temptations. I ask for your unceasing help for all who are now suffering. Help the weak, cure the sick, convert sinners. Grant through your intercessions many vocations to the religious life.  Obtain for us, O Mary, Help of Christians, that having invoked you on earth we may love and eternally thank you in heaven.” source

On January 1, 2014, during the Roman Catholic Feast of the Mother of God, Pope Francis declared the following to be true about Mary:

“The Mother of the Redeemer precedes us continually and confirms us in the faith, in the vocation and in the mission. With her example of humility and of availability to the will of God, she helps us to translate our faith in a joyful announcement of the gospel without frontiers. In this way our mission will be fruitful, because it is modelled on the maternity of Mary. To her we entrust our itinerary of faith, the desires of our heart, our necessities, the needs of the whole world, especially the hunger and the thirst for justice and peace; and we invoke her all together.”

Have you ever look to see the references to the Queen of Heaven in the Bible?

So as you can clearly see, not only does the Vatican teach it’s followers to pray to Mary, they have put her in place of Jesus Christ, to provide as they say “the needs of the whole world”. They call her the “advocate”, the “redeemer”, they call her “holy”, they call her the “intercessor”, and many other titles that belong to God alone. When you read the Bible you see that Mary was “blessed among woman”, but she was not blessed above women. The Bible in no way says or implies that she was “sinless”, and in fact, she goes to the Temple to make a sin offering. Lastly, no where in the Bible does it say or imply that she can now hear prayers or answer prayers. None of that is in the Bible. But you do find this reference to the Queen of Heaven that’s pretty interesting:

“The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.” Jeremiah 7:18 (KJV)

Yikes! That’s not good…

Do Catholics pray to Mary? Absolutely. They just don’t have the guts to admit they do.

Plannedemic 2.0? Moderna Is Now Working On A New mRNA ‘Vaccine’ For Hantavirus In The Next Strike From The Pharmaceutical Industrial Complex

Moderna Stock Rises On Hantavirus Vaccine News As The Same mRNA Machine That Powered COVID Fear Gets Ready For Its Next Big Pharma Payday

This is the same end times machinery, the same pharmaceutical empire, the same fear-based conditioning system, and the same mRNA platform being warmed up for another run at global compliance. COVID was the rehearsal. Hantavirus, Bird Flu, Disease X, or whatever name they attach to the next medical emergency is just the next act in the same production. Don’t let them memory-hole COVID and rewrite what happened. Don’t let them pretend their draconian mandates were harmless, the deaths unavoidable, the injuries were imaginary, the censorship was justified, or the fear campaign was noble. And when they do it again, this time don’t comply.

“So they poured out for the men to eat. And it came to pass, as they were eating of the pottage, that they cried out, and said, O thou man of God, there is death in the pot. And they could not eat thereof.” 2 Kings 4:40 (KJB)

The COVID vaccines were rushed, oversold, politically weaponized, and forced upon millions of people through mandates, threats, job loss, travel restrictions, censorship, social shaming, and spiritual intimidation. Churches were closed. Small businesses were crushed. Families were divided. Doctors were silenced. Dissenters were branded as dangerous. NTEB lost our Facebook page with a quarter-million followers for reporting the truth. And after all that, the same people who told you to “trust the science” now want you to trust them again as they prepare the next mRNA product for the next outbreak narrative. That is not medicine, that’s psycological conditioning. This is exactly the type of system the last days would produce: a world trained to surrender bodily autonomy, economic freedom, travel rights, speech, employment, and conscience whenever a centralized authority declares an emergency.

The world is being trained to accept a new priesthood: unelected health officials, pharmaceutical executives, military-linked researchers, media gatekeepers, and global-policy managers who believe they have the right to decide what goes into your body, where you may go, what you may say, and whether you may participate in society.

Moderna saw a rise in Thursday morning trading after announcing positive Phase 1 data for its mRNA hantavirus vaccine. The results showed the vaccine was well-tolerated and generated strong immune responses across all dose levels, a significant finding given the absence of an FDA-approved hantavirus vaccine. source

The Mark of the Beast does not arrive in a vacuum. It arrives in a world already trained to obey. It arrives in a world already taught that personal liberty is selfish, that resistance is dangerous, that bodily submission is civic virtue, and that access to normal life can be turned on or off by a government-approved system. COVID taught the world the language of Antichrist government: comply or be excluded.

The same generation that mocked Bible believers for warning about global control then watched the whole world lock down in a matter of weeks. They watched vaccine passports appear. They watched people lose their jobs for refusing a medical product. They watched censorship become public policy. They watched buying, selling, traveling, worshipping, and working become conditional. And now, here comes another outbreak headline, another mRNA opportunity, another biotech stock jump, another “urgent need,” another reminder that the deadly machine was never dismantled. The child of God should not be afraid — but he had better not be asleep.

Friday Is Day 2,244 Of 15 Days To Flatten The Curve, And Our Countdown Still Stands As A Warning That The Same Dark Globalist Playbook Is Waiting To Be Used Again

They told us it would be ’15 days to flatten the curve’, and the whole world watched as that little phrase became the doorway into lockdowns, mandates, masks, closures, censorship, digital tracking, social conditioning, vaccine passports, emergency powers, and a level of government control most people would have called impossible just a few weeks earlier. But it happened. Not in some distant dictatorship. Not in a prophecy conference illustration. It happened in real time, in broad daylight, in front of everyone while we all watched, and it’s going to happen again. This is why we’ve kept counting.

“The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.” Ecclesiastes 1:9 (KJB)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, we here at NTEB started a countdown dating back to March 16th of 2020, and it is a countdown denoting the fact that the global end times events that were put in place on the eve of the lockdown have not stopped, nor will they stop. March 16, 2020 was the day the curtain was pulled back and the world got a glimpse of how fast freedom can disappear when fear is weaponized. One phrase, repeated by politicians, media outlets, corporations, health agencies and tech platforms, became the key that opened the door to emergency rule. And once those rulers tasted that tantalizing ’emergency power’, they’re not giving it up quickly, or easily. That’s why we kept counting. The world wants you to move on. The media wants you to forget, the system wants you trained for the next command, but we who believe are called to watch and warn a lost and dying world preparing itself for Antichrist. For 6 years we’ve been warning you, and it looks like they’re trying it again, this time with the Hantavirus, endless wars in the Middle East, a collapsing economy, sky-high gas prices and talks of alien invasions. Today we bring you what the world has in store, and you won’t like it one, little bit.

Hantavirus Outbreak On Cruise Ship Sparks Global Contact Tracing As Trump Is Once Again President During A Potential Pandemic-Level Threat

Trump Was President During COVID And Now He Is President Again As A Deadly Hantavirus Outbreak Triggers Global Contact Tracing Across International Borders

Here we go again? The last time Donald Trump sat in the Oval Office, the whole world was plunged into a pandemic that shut down churches, closed businesses, crashed economies, normalized masks, conditioned people to accept medical passports, and gave governments a once-in-a-generation excuse to test just how much control frightened populations would surrender. Now here we are in 2026, Trump is president again, and once again we are watching global health authorities, airlines, cruise operators, and international agencies scramble to track a deadly virus that has already killed three people. Coincidence? Maybe. But at this point, the word “coincidence” is doing an awful lot of heavy lifting.

“The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.” Ecclesiastes 1:9 (KJB)

The World Health Organization says the MV Hondius cruise ship outbreak was reported on May 2, 2026, and that as of May 4, there were seven cases linked to severe respiratory illness, including two laboratory-confirmed hantavirus cases, five suspected cases, three deaths, and one critically ill patient. Symptoms included fever, gastrointestinal illness, pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome, and shock. AP reports that the outbreak unfolded over weeks as the vessel sailed from Argentina toward Antarctica and then across the Atlantic, with passengers and crew becoming sick before authorities fully understood what they were dealing with.

That is exactly the kind of “we’ve seen this before” scenario that should make your ears perk up. Not because hantavirus is automatically “the next COVID,” and not because every outbreak is a manufactured event, but because the machinery around these events is now fully built, tested, and waiting. Contact tracing. Isolation orders. Airline alerts. Global coordination. Public-health messaging. International surveillance. We saw that machine roar to life in 2020, and now we are watching the gears begin to turn again. This is what we’ve been warning you about since the first time they tried it.

Oceanwide Expeditions said it is “tracking down the details of passengers and crew on the m/v Hondius since March” and that details would be available in coming days. source

The cruise ship angle makes it even more provocative. AP reported that more than two dozen passengers left the ship on April 24, after the first onboard fatality, before contact tracing was fully in place. Those passengers then had the potential to travel onward internationally. That is the stuff of pandemic tabletop exercises: a contained environment, an exotic pathogen, international passengers, delayed identification, global travel routes, and public-health authorities racing to reconstruct the chain of exposure after the fact.

Now add this wrinkle: this is not just any hantavirus. The WHO-linked reporting identifies concern around the Andes strain, a rare hantavirus associated with South America, and public health authorities are watching it closely because unlike most hantaviruses, Andes virus has been associated with limited person-to-person transmission in certain close-contact settings. That does not mean it is spreading like influenza or COVID. But it does mean the contact-tracing response is not merely theatrical. There is a legitimate reason officials are moving quickly. Just how far things will go remains to be seen, but giving heed to the words of King Solomon in the book of Ecclesiaties 1:9 is a great place to start.
