	Mariolatry is a noun which describes the worship of the Virgin Mary, from ''Mary'' (the mother of Jesus Christ) and ''latry'' with connective element o. ''Latry'' means worship from ''latria''. It is a derogatory term suggesting that the Roman Catholic Church (RCC), Eastern Orthodox Churches, and other such cults, preform ''veneration'' which is considered unbiblical and pure idolatry. Mariolatry is not to be confused with Mariology, which is the legitimate theological study of Mary. Within the Roman Catholic Church, Mary is venerated over all other saints. The RCC teaches that she was conceived without original sin therefore receiving a higher level of veneration (hyperdulia) than all other saints. The Mariology of protestants (which comes from scripture) is distinct from the [[Mariology of the Catholic Church]] which focuses upon the four dogmas which form the basis of the RCC's Mariology:		Mariolatry is a noun which describes the worship of the Virgin Mary, from ''Mary'' (the mother of Jesus Christ) and ''latry'' with connective element o.

			==Mary’s role in salvation==
			Another element of Roman Catholic Mariology is the belief that, at the conception of Jesus, Mary entered into a spiritual union with Him. Pope John Paul II discussed Mary’s place in the plan of salvation in the encyclical Redemptoris Mater, emphasizing “the special presence of the Mother of God in the mystery of Christ and his Church. For this is a fundamental dimension emerging from the Mariology of the Council.” Pope Benedict XVI stated that “Christology and Mariology are inseparably interwoven.”

			The Catholic Encyclopedia states, “In [Mary’s] Fiat of faith, she received salvation for all. . . . Mary’s mediatorship is to be understood on the level of the solidarity of all mankind which is in need of redemption. . . .The function of Mary in salvation determines her relation to the Church. . . . Mary is mother of the Church under this more individualistic aspect, since she is effectively concerned for the salvation of each individual” (pages 898–901).

			Within Catholicism, there is a drive to define a new Marian dogma in which Catholics, as a matter of faith, would be obliged to accept these three doctrines: 1) Mary participates in redemption with Jesus Christ; 2) grace is granted by Jesus only through the intercession of Mary; and 3) all prayers from the faithful must flow through Mary, who brings them to the attention of her Son. This movement would, in practice, redefine the Trinity as a kind of Quartet. The idea that Mary is a co-redemptrix or mediatrix contradicts 1 Timothy 2:5, which says, “For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus.” Jesus is the Mediator. There is no mediator between man and Jesus. Jesus Himself dwells in believers; thus, no other mediator is required (Colossians 1:27).

			Nowhere in Scripture does Jesus or anyone else direct any praise, glory, or adoration toward Mary. Mary was present at the cross when Jesus died (John 19:25). Mary was also with the apostles on the day of Pentecost (Acts 1:14). However, Mary is never mentioned again after Acts 1. The apostles did not give Mary a prominent role. Mary’s death is not recorded in the Bible. Nothing is said about Mary ascending to heaven or having an exalted role there. As the earthly mother of Jesus, Mary should be respected, but she is not worthy of worship or adoration. The Bible nowhere indicates that Mary can hear our prayers or that she can mediate for us with God. Mary herself sets the example for us in directing her worship, adoration, and praise to God alone: “My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for He has been mindful of the humble state of His servant. From now on all generations will call me blessed, for the Mighty One has done great things for me—holy is His name” (Luke 1:46–49).

New page

Mariolatry is a noun which describes the worship of the Virgin Mary, from ''Mary'' and ''latry'' with connective element o. ''Latry'' means worship from ''latria''. It is a derogatory term suggesting that the Roman Catholic Church, Orthodox Churches, and the like, preform veneration which is considered inappropriate.

Fra Paolo Sarpi in his "History of the Council of Trent" sketches the rise of Mariolatry in the papal church. The phrase "Mother of the Divine Son," used toward the end of the third century, was used not in her honour but in honour of Christ to show that He was born Divine. By degrees it was used in honour of Mary instead of Christ. In the eleventh century a canonical office was instituted in honour of her which gained ground by decrees of church councils and popes until the Jesuits came on the scene in the sixteenth century when it advanced in leaps and bounds.

In many cities in Italy great columns are to be seen on which stand a female figure with a crown on her head and sceptre in her hand. These are monuments to Mary, "the Queen of Heaven," raised to celebrate her Immaculate Conception - a false Romish claim, promulgated by pope Pius IX, December 8th, 1854, that she was born free from original sin.<sup>[1]<sup>
