Shocking but true – the fabricated Mary of Catholicism has dethroned God, as implied by Catholic Church images and their own outlandish teachings! Before you reject this as a wild misrepresentation of Catholicism, please consider the following evidence – the Catholic images (as shown here) are explicitly clear themselves. Such Catholic pictures collaborate with their own authoritative teachings:
1053 “We believe that the multitude of those gathered around Jesus and Mary in Paradise forms the Church of heaven, …” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, p. 274, bold emphasis mine)
The fabricated mythical Mary of Catholicism, who has apparently dethroned the Heavenly Father, is also unashamedly called sovereign by Pope John Paul II. Catholicism wants us also to believe she is supposedly restraining the wrathful hand of the Lord Jesus from striking us. To do that she would have to be more powerful! To sovereignly rule with Jesus like that (with no mention of the Father), implies she has apparently dethroned God the Father! Jesus is on the throne with Mary but the Father isn’t! Did Mary boot the Father off the throne? Remember, the Catholic Mary is given the fictitious title — Queen of Heaven.
Remember also that Jesus is NOT the person of the Father. Hence, though Jesus is God by nature, he is NOT the heavenly Father. So don’t be confused by a Catholic apologist who would mention Jesus is God in an attempt to minimize the implications of the Father not being on the throne, according to their own teachings, images and songs! NOTE: THERE IS NO AUTHORITATIVE CATHOLIC SOURCE WHICH SAYS THE FATHER IS ON THE THRONE WITH JESUS AND MARY! It’s only Mother and Son ruling with no mention of the Father! QUESTION FOR CATHOLICS: Where is the Father, since he is NOT on his throne?
In many ways the Catholic Mary is also a serious rival of Jesus and at times she is even given the same exact title as the Lord Jesus! Again, it is clear that Catholicism has their fabricated Mary deified. She is actually ruling with Jesus from the throne in heaven and the Father is nowhere to be seen! Did Mary dethrone the Father? The Catholic church even sings about Mary reigning in heaven with Jesus in the song entitled, Immaculate Mary, but there is NO mention of the Father there either! Clearly, Mary and Jesus alone are reigning together (without the Heavenly Father). That is openly taught throughout Catholicism and is even included in their praise songs to Mary, but it seems that no one has noticed it! Proof of Mary’s omnipotent dominion in heaven and earth is taught by Alphonsus Liquori, one of the several dozen Doctors of Catholicism! The following is found in his most popular book read by millions over the years:
And if Jesus is the King of the universe, Mary is also its Queen. “And as Queen,” says the Abbot Rupert, “she possesses, by right, the whole kingdom of her Son.” Hence St. Bernardine of Sienna concludes that “as many creatures as there are who serve God, so many they are who serve Mary: for as angels and men, and all things that are in heaven and on earth, are subject to the empire of God, so are they also under the dominion of Mary!” The Abbot Guerricus, addressing himself to the divine Mother on this subject, says: “Continue, Mary, continue to dispose with confidence of the riches of thy Son; act as Queen, Mother and Spouse of the King: for to thee belongs dominion and power over all creatures!” (St. Alphonsus de Liguori, The Glories of Mary, Brooklyn: Redemptorist Fathers, 1931, p. 36, bold emphasis mine).
The Heavenly Father Has NOT Been Dethroned
The real truth is, innumerable angels of God do encircle God’s throne in heaven, but the make-believe “sovereign” Mary of Catholicism is not on it as Queen of Heaven! The angels sing praises to God (the Father) and the Lamb (Jesus), but Mary is nowhere to be seen as Queen of heaven nor is she even mentioned:
Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels, numbering thousands upon thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand. They encircled the throne and the living creatures and the elders. In a loud voice they sang: “Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!” Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, singing: “To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever!” (Rev 5:11-13)
In heaven, the baby Jesus is not focused upon, as Catholics and the deceived woman in Luke 11:27 did, whom Jesus openly corrected. Instead, in heaven the bloody redemptive death of Jesus on the cross, where he was slain, is elevated. They sing about the blood of Jesus, which has purchased men for God (Rev. 5:9) with absolutely no mention of Mary being the co-redemptress with Christ, as the Catholic Church wants us to believe!
Throne of God and of the Lamb
Even more Biblical evidence proves that on God’s throne is God the Father and the Lord Jesus:
And they cried out in a loud voice: “Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb.” (Rev 7:10)
Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb (Rev 22:1)
No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him. (Rev 22:3)
To be more precise, Jesus is sitting on the right side of the Father (Col. 3:1; Heb. 10:12). The Catholic Church is glaringly wrong in their mythical theology to have their mother and son duet – Mary and Jesus – ruling from the throne in heaven. Such has resulted in idolatry as Mary is prayed TO and trusted in for salvation. The real throne in heaven has the heavenly Father and Jesus ruling from it and no one will ever dethrone God:
You, O LORD, reign forever; your throne endures from generation to generation. (Lam 5:19)
Folks, do not be deceived by the Catholic church, nor their super exalted portrayal of Mary. It is a myth and not reality. Mary has not dethroned God as perhaps implied. Furthermore, the DANGEROUS and FALSE plan of salvation of the Catholic Church starts with getting born again at infant baptism (with no faith or repentance) and includes their Mary as the mediatrix and dispenser of all grace! Such will never bring eternal life.
