MARY<\/p>\n

There is only one Mediator,
\nEstablished between God and men,
\nMary is not a co-redemptress,
\nShe cannot take away our sin.<\/p>\n

Although she was indeed blessed,
\nAbove all women of the Earth,
\nShe was by no means perfect,
\nBut was marked by sin from birth.<\/p>\n

Mary shed not her blood for us,
\nNor did she rise from the dead,
\nSalvation is not hers for giving,
\nJesus Christ alone is the Head.<\/p>\n

So away with this false doctrine,
\nDon’t be deceived by the pope,
\nIf you truly wish to be saved,
\nIn Jesus place all of your hope.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
