I want to say that I really appreciate you posting this thread.
I was raised protestant,but listen to EWTN regularly.
I really enjoy the programs and I felt like I wanted to become catholic.
Then I saw this book by Mary Ann Collins,and didn’t like what I was reading.
Now that you have pointed out the errors and the fact that she may not even exist.
I am more confused then ever!
Protestants believe they have the truth.
Catholics believe they have the truth,because they were first.
Protestants don’t believe that there is any other way to reach the Lord without Jesus.
Catholics believe we can pray to Mary and she intercedes for us.
I understand that those who die are alive in Christ.
And that that’s why Catholics believe we can pray to the saints in Heaven.
But still, Jesus did say,“I am the way the truth and the life”.
And,“No one comes to the Father but by Me”.
So I’m back to step one.
A protestant listening to Catholic radio and being pulled both ways.
Pray for me.
Thank you!
God’s Peace

Jesus is the ONLY way to heaven. However, saints in heaven can pray for you just as I can, and because they are definitely righteous, their prayers availeth much more than mine. 👍
 
I wrote to Mary to inform her that she ‘didn’t exist’, and this was her reply:

11.8.2010

"Dear Mike,

So they say that I only exist on my website. What website?
Those guys know that I took down my website over a year ago.
A man wrote to me and asked me why.
And when I told him, he replied, “Thanks. That’s just what WE wanted to know.” So they know.

There are people out there who deny that God exists. Some of them have written books hundreds of pages long trying to prove that He doesn’t exist.

So I guess I’m in good company.

Mary Ann”

In response to one of my articles posted on Facebook, Robert J Thomas responded as follows:

“Mike, would the former nun be Mary Ann Collins by any chance?
I met her at one of our AFEC conferences (Association of Fundamentalists Evangelizing Catholics) a few years ago.”

Robert can be contacted independently, via Facebook.

What you wrote right here should tell you A LOT. Christ didn’t leave us orphans, and didn’t leave us wandering in the wilderness. He promised that His Church would never fail, it would never fall to the gates of hell. And St. Paul tells us that we are to know how to act by remaining in His Church, and that the Church is the pillar and foundation of the truth. Christ promised to send the Holy Spirit to lead us into all truth. Jesus did not want us to be confused on what was true. That is why He built ONE Church, founded on St. Peter.

Yes, the Church built on the Kepha/Cephas/Petros/Peter/Rock, the first Pope St. Peter. The ONE Church built by Christ Himself. At NO POINT did He ever teach, and the Apostles never taught to separate from this Church.

Catholics believe your first sentence as well. It is in no way contradicted by your second sentence. Mary, the saints and angels, and other Christians can pray for us, can intercede and ask God for us, and that IN NO WAY diminishes or changes the fact that we go to Jesus as our mediator to God. Any prayers made by others for us are made THROUGH Jesus.

Also the Book of Revelation shows where the saints and angels in Heaven present our prayers to God. This is showing them interceding for us, by presenting our petitions to God. And this in no way diminishes Jesus as the way, truth, and life, that these prayers are still being taken to God by another Christian/saint/angel.

Maybe this is like the Dread Pirate Roberts. No one would surrender to the “ex-nun Jennifer”.
