I'd like to rephrase this somehow--Catholics don't pray "to" Mary, we ask for her intercession with her son, Jesus. Does anyone have anything wrong with rewording it somehow? It seems like something minor, but this is what gets non-Catholic Christians worked up and it should be more accurate...

The Pope view Mary as our "intercessors" before God, but look here in 1 Timothy 2:5 declares, "For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus." Mary being our Advocate, Auxiliatrix, Adjutrix, Mediatrix and Co-redeemer is nowhere found in the Holy Scripture and therefore should be rejected. The real Mary of the Bible is none of these things and has absolutely no role in our salvation.
The true "Universal Church" needs the teachings of the apostles accurately recorded and preserved in the New Testament and not the doctrines and practices made by Apostolic Succession "Book of Catechism" guide that the Christians will follow.
