Abstract

The Catholic Church affirms that it is possible to render some kind of worship to Mary and the saints, although they differ in the honor they receive because the worship of Mary is superior. However, the Scriptures do not favor this, for they teach that all worship is to be given to God, and never to a creature. This article explores de biblical evidence regarding the prerogatives that Catholicism assigns to Mary and the mediation of the saints in heaven. In the NT, only Jesus is the only mediator between God and men, and only through Him people come to God.
